Why Johannesburg needs ball bearings
Africa's largest economic hub, headquarters of mining houses, distributors and engineering firms. Bearings are wear parts: every motor, pump, conveyor pulley, gearbox and farm machine has them, and plants replace them on a fixed maintenance cycle or after a failure that stops production.
South Africa is the continent's most industrialised economy, with world-class mining, a large automotive sector, heavy chemicals and advanced retail. Durban, Cape Town, Gqeberha and Richards Bay are the main ports.
