Uniross South Africa is expanding once again, and has just recently developed a new 2000 m² manufacturing facility in Midrand, which comprises: temperature-controlled warehousing facilities, new offices for head office staff and a state-of-the-art battery assembly and testing facility.
According to the company, the relocation is essential for the Uniross group, as Uniross South Africa is positioned as one of the global production facilities for the Uniross group internationally. More importantly, however, the expansion brings technical resources to South Africa that were previously only available in Europe, the USA and Asia, this adding huge value to South Africa and the African continent.
