Conveyors in Pietermaritzburg

Pietermaritzburg, the capital of KwaZulu-Natal, lies in a bowl in the Midlands about 80 kilometres inland of Durban. Industry includes timber and forestry products, paper and packaging, food and beverage processing, dairy and engineering, with the large Willowton and Mkondeni industrial areas hosting many of them. Wood chip, sawn timber, logs, sugar, milled products and packaged goods move on belts and roller lines. The climate is warm and humid in summer with strong storms, and cooler in winter. The city has an established engineering base, with belting suppliers, splicing contractors and workshops that serve forestry, sugar and farming customers across the Midlands and the N3 corridor.
