PORT ELIZABETH-based manufacturers have secured export orders valued at billions of rands over the past few months.
One of the biggest is a
R2.16-billion catalytic converter contract announced by Volkswagen South Africa.
The catalytic converters will be fitted to the VW Polo, which is made in Europe.
Delta Motor Corporation also scooped a large export contract earlier this year. The motor manufacturing giant joined forces with manufacturer Petri
South Africa in a R22 million steering wheel programme for Opel in Germany.
