Conti South Africa Investing in Capacity
Over the next year Continental Tyre South Africa intends to invest around ZAR100 million (£8.9 million) to increase production capacity and equip its Port Elizabeth factory to produce ranges that are in demand. “There is a big demand in South Africa for the off-road and 4×4 type tyres and there is some new ranges coming into South Africa over the next two years and we have picked up a lot of this business," he said,” commented Wayne Brown, general manager of Manufacturing. Brown added that Conti's South African produced 4×4 tyres are also sought after in global markets, such as Australia. “This is where we will be focusing our attention,” he commented.
