Automation Technology Brings Economic Power In South Africa

South Africa is a partner of a large number of industrial nations throughout the world. Very promising future domestic markets are the automotive industry and the infrastructure sector. Festo South Africa has already grown to a significant size in both sectors over the years.

Sparse deserts, tropical forests, fertile valleys, impressive mountain landscapes, fantastic beaches – South Africa’s variety of landscapes enthrals tourists from all over the world. It’s also because of the fascinating wildlife in the numerous game reserves that more and more Europeans are travelling to the “other end of the world”. No surprise then that tourism is responsible for about 8% of the gross domestic product (GDP). However, compared with manufacturing industries and international trade, tourism only accounts for a small part of the growing economic power of the country at Africa’s southern tip. Certain industry sectors, such as mobility and infrastructure, open up good development opportunities for companies and investors from all over the world.
