ELECTRA MINING AFRICA WHERE INSPIRATION AND INNOVATION MEET
It’s not always easy staying on top of the latest innovations in your field. But at Electra Mining Africa 2024, you’ll find all the latest cutting-edge technology on display, hear talks from trailblazers in the industry and meet hundreds of exhibitors across the areas of mining, electrical, automation, manufacturing, power and transport, all in one venue.
Taking place from 2-6 September at the Expo Centre in Nasrec, Johannesburg, this year’s event will be one of the biggest Electra Mining Africa exhibitions to date. Extending across 35,000+ m² of exhibition space accommodating over 850 exhibitors, its focus is largely on local industry suppliers and manufacturers, together with a smaller international contingent from countries including the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Taiwan, India and China. It’s very much a South African show for a South African market.
Electra Mining Africa offers an outstanding opportunity for exhibitors and visitors to come together to do business, to sell and to buy, which stimulates trade in the industrial, manufacturing and mining sectors of the South African economy.
“We’re looking forward to this year’s show,” says Gary Corin, Managing Director of Specialised Exhibitions, a division of Montgomery Group. “With over five decades of experience and as the largest trade show of its kind in Southern Africa, Electra Mining Africa presents a very unique platform for bringing together related industry sectors all under one roof. Large organisations and SMMEs will be represented across the areas
of mining, electrical, automation, manufacturing, power and transport. They come here to trade. To share and exchange value, whether that’s technology or products or solutions. They come here for five days to do business in one of the biggest trading markets that this country has to offer.”
Exhibitors make sales at the show, generate qualified leads, and build new customer and distributor partnerships. Visitors have the opportunity to see, evaluate and compare the latest products and services that meet their business and operational needs.
“We’re excited about the New Products and Innovation Awards that will be taking place again this year, organised in partnership with the South African Capital Equipment Export Council. Thousands of new products and innovations will be displayed at the show, with hundreds of live demonstrations bringing machinery and equipment to life,” explained Charlene Hefer, Portfolio Director at Specialised Exhibitions.
“An Inward Buying Mission will ring in buyers from neighbouring African countries, Europe and South America, all interested in what our local industry can offer. We’re also thrilled that the automation hall, a huge attraction in 2022, has received overwhelming support from industry again this year and will be filled with ground-breaking innovations.
"Also back this year, the Forklift Driver competition organised in conjunction with Lifting Africa and LEEASA, where Forklift operators will be competing for the coveted title of Forklift Driver Champion. Education and learning remain a key element of the show with expert speakers presenting at the various conferences and free-to-attend seminars.”
“Electra Mining Africa is going to be a great show and the innovation on display will be mindblowing,” concludes Hefer.
