Drive engineering specialists SEW-EURODRIVE has officially opened its expanded Gqeberha facility, positioning the company as a major local partner to the province’s expanding industrial sector.

With the Eastern Cape recognised as a critical node for automotive manufacturing, logistics, agri-processing, and renewable energy, the company says its latest investment underscores its commitment to aligning with regional growth and customer needs.

“This is more than just a building - it’s a symbol of our long-term investment in the region and the industries that drive it,” says SEW-EURODRIVE Gqeberha branch manager Phillip Steyn. “Our customers were visibly impressed by the capabilities we have brought under one roof - from advanced assembly and service infrastructure to the engineering depth we can now offer locally.”

The 2 400 m² facility significantly expands on the company’s previous footprint in the area, offering modernised assembly bays, dedicated painting and dispatch zones and a fully equipped service centre complete with high-pressure cleaning systems, conformance and quality testing and overhead cranes rated for drive units up to 10 t.

“We can assemble to order, stock critical components and carry out major repairs - all without sending equipment elsewhere. That is a gamechanger for uptime and operational continuity for our customers across the Eastern Cape region,” Steyn adds.

The company has confirmed further expansion plans including the launch of a customer-focused experience centre that will showcase next-generation mechatronic drive technologies, host energy optimisation studies and provide a real-world environment for customers to trial the latest control platforms and software.

The Gqeberha branch is said to play a key role in major industrial projects across the province, from turnkey solutions for fruit processing facilities to drive upgrades in the Coega Industrial Development Zone and surrounding ports.
