Conveyors in Kariega

Kariega, formerly Uitenhage, is a manufacturing town about 35 kilometres inland of Gqeberha, long known for vehicle assembly and its supplier network. Component makers, tyre and rubber businesses, textile and wool processors and engineering workshops operate across the industrial areas, with belt and roller conveyors moving parts, packaging and finished goods through plants and distribution areas. The location is drier and hotter than the coast, though salt air still reaches the area in strong south-westerly winds. Local fabricators, welders and mechanical contractors give good first-line support, and belting, rollers and conveyor spares are available in Gqeberha, which is a short drive along the N2 or R75.
