Integrated machinery, equipment and electronic control systems are key industries for digitalisation and related technology changes, and combine a range of sophisticated and complex technologies. South Africa’s machinery and equipment sector has a developed industrial base and encompasses the manufacture of machinery such as mineral-processing equipment, pumps, valves and earthmoving equipment. Machinery, equipment and electronic control systems have strong backward linkages to the metal products industries.
