July 2014 marked a momentous event in SA’s Automotive Industry history, as
the first FAW commercial vehicle, built in South Africa, rolled off the
assembly line at the FAW Vehicle Manufacturers SA (PTY) LTD production plant
at Coega, in the Eastern Cape.
The
decision to build the FAW plant in South Africa is very significant from a
global perspective, as it is one of the most important and largest
investments made by a Chinese entity in South Africa to date.
The
total investment has been financed by China FAW Group Corporation and the
China-Africa Development Fund (CAD-Fund). This collaboration speaks volumes
to the growing interest from global Chinese Industry in unlocking the true
Africa potential.
The
first-phase of the Coega plant, covering 103 000m2 of land and a 28 000m2
plant – complete with training facilities, will allow the company to provide
its client base with a sense of pride and patriotism by ‘buying local’.
Expected
to ramp-up to produce 5 000 trucks per annum, the Coega assembly plant will
supply trucks to the South African market, as well as to the rest of Africa,
in both right-hand and left-hand-drive derivatives. The current projections
are that 40% of production will be destined for the South African
territories, while 60% will be exported.
FAW
SA’s previous assembly facility in Isando, Gauteng, was transformed into a
fully-fledged Service Centre which accommodates the Parts Warehouse and
carries stock to the value of ZAR 38 million, while the Cape Town and Durban
branches each hold an additional ZAR 20 million in parts, totaling ZAR 78
million to support SA and Africa customers.”

as manager of the new acquisition. Production was delayed when bottling
machinery destined for Brakpan was lost off the coast of Africa, as a result
of enemy submarine action during World War II. This setback did not affect
sales as Coca-Cola was still distributed in the area. After 16 years of hard

Mr
Gutsche formed Gutsche Investment & Management Company (Pty) Ltd (GIMCO)
a property owning investment company with properties located in Port
Elizabeth and Cape Town in the retail, industrial and office categories.
GIMCO provides property management services to third parties which include
the provision of the following:
