Company opens expanded Value-Added Centre for customers’ manufacturing requirements
From Creamer Media in Johannesburg, this is the Real Economy Report.
Sashnee Moodley:
The South African extension of Germany-based Phoenix Contact has expanded its Value-Added Centre, based in Randburg, in Johannesburg, as part of its continued efforts to provide its customers with manufacturing of their product solutions. Creamer Media journalist Simone Liedtke tells us more.
Simone Liedtke:
Phoenix Contact – which is an industrial automation, interconnection and interface solutions provider – had been running its VAC Centre on a smaller scale for the past 18 months, but South Africa GM Carl Kleynhans says positive customer feedback encouraged the company to move the VAC to both a larger space and to now market the benefits it can provide.
Phoenix Contact South Africa GM Carl Kleynhans:
Simone Liedtke:
The possibilities for customers are “endless”, he suggests, though the company’s Dereck Stayne elaborates on this.

Phoenix Contact National Sales and Marketing Manager Dereck Styane:
Simone Liedtke:
Styane also tells us a bit more about the company’s free-to-use software, Project Complete, which is key to the VAC’s overall offering.
Phoenix Contact National Sales and Marketing Manager Dereck Styane:
Simone Liedtke:
While the opportunities are “endless”, additional expansion for the VAC is not quite on the cards yet and will be largely dependent on customer demand.
