Conveyors in George

George is the largest town on the Garden Route, set below the Outeniqua Mountains. The local economy mixes timber and furniture, dairy and food processing, building products, quarrying and a growing logistics sector around the N2 and the airport. Sawmills, board plants and packhouses use belts and roller conveyors for sorting and dispatch, and quarries near the town supply aggregate for the region's construction. Rain falls through the year, so damp and mould are concerns, and the coastal air is mild but humid. George has a small, capable base of workshops, fabricators and belting suppliers, with larger orders usually coming from Cape Town or Gqeberha, each about five hours away.
