The fortune 500 company with a truck assembly plant worth R600 million and located at the Coega Special Economic Zone (SEZ) spent the greater part of 2017 raving up its export numbers to 212 units.
“Nothing gives us greater pleasure than to see the extent of success that accumulates with investments located at the Coega SEZ. It validates the findings of an independent study on the Coega SEZ, which found that 90% of operational investors described the SEZ and its logistics park as the ideal location for industries,” says Dr Ayanda Vilakazi, Marketing, Brand and Communications.
The success of FAW in the year 2017, is compounded by a further record year in terms of domestic sales having grown from 929 units in 2016 to 1 032 units in 2017.
