Follow on Google News | South African presence at DRC Mining Week indicates strong interest in DRC mining sectorThe South African Capital Equipment Export Council (SACEEC) is bringing a strong delegation of South African suppliers to the DRC Mining Week conference and exhibition, that is taking place in Lubumbashi from 23-24 June.
By: DRC Mining Week The SACEEC is a public/private partnership between the capital equipment industry and the South African Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) and currently services more than 140 member companies in manufacturing and allied services, representing a major proportion of the capital equipment industry in South Africa. According to Mr Bruggeman: "the DRC is potentially one of the richest mining countries in Africa. The country was the world's fourth largest producer of industrial diamonds during the 1980s, and diamonds continue to dominate exports, accounting for nearly half of exports." He continues: "trade relations between South Africa and the DRC are showing positive growth from a relatively low base, with bilateral trade being heavily skewed in South Africa's favour due to limited productive capacity on the part of the DRC's economy. In response to the extended period of globalisation, the focus has now swung to localisation and South Africa and South African companies are looking at ways to provide long-term and meaning partnerships with companies within the DRC." He says Lubumbashi, where the DRC Mining Week is taking place, "is the second largest city in the DRC and sets the stage for a business-to- South African companies at DRC Mining Week include: SACEEC members as part of the SA National Pavilion: - AZMET – Engineering Services - AZ-Armaturen – Lubricating Plug Valve and Sampling Valves - WEBA Chutes – Chute designed - Fabchem – Dome plates, Pumps SACEEC members as individual exhibitors: - FL Smidth - Aard Mining Equipment SA Companies as part of the National Pavilion: - African Mixing Technologies – Pumps & agitators - Hose manufacturers – Boreline, flatlay - APE Pumps – Pumps - Nitralife – Nitrogen generators - Tru-Trac Rollers – Conveyor Equipment - Turner Morris - DRIVE units, generators, Bio-mixers, Conveyors - OE Bearings – SRB Brandsplit Roller, Bearing housing support, Hanger units, Flanges The full interview with Mr Bruggeman can be viewed here: http://www.drcminingweek.com/ DRC Mining Week Around 1200 mining professionals are expected to gather for the practical annual mining and industrial expo again as the award-winning DRC Mining Week conference and exhibition returns to Lubumbashi, in the heart of the DRC's mining hub, from 23-24 June.
