The past 24 months have been challenging globally. Today, various industries are faced with overwhelming, competing challenges and are forced to navigate through the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The KwaZulu-Natal Industrial Technology Exhibition (KITE) will be taking place at the Durban Exhibition Centre in February. This is a gathering of industrial suppliers that will showcase and demonstrate the latest technologies, equipment and services that can improve production efficiency, lower operating costs and improve safety. A big focus coming out of the pandemic will be around automation, digitisation and predictive maintenance. The event will also provide visitors and exhibitors the opportunity to learn from the keynote speakers who will be hosting free seminars throughout the duration of the expo, as well as the opportunity to network with leading industry experts.
Gary Corin, managing director of Specialised Exhibitions that is responsible for KITE, said the safety and wellbeing of exhibitors, suppliers and visitors – and indeed the industry as a whole – is of paramount importance. “Our exhibitions provide a platform for our exhibitors to engage face-to-face with their clients, launch new products and stay up to date with industry trends. The human condition demands face-to-face interaction.
Mellisa Govender, marketing director of RS Components South Africa, said that RS was excited to be one of the many companies that will be exhibiting at this year’s KITE event. “We’ve waited a long time to reconnect with our customers and industry colleagues. Events like this are key to showcasing the latest products and solutions for industries such as manufacturing, food and beverage, automotive and packaging. RS will be showcasing its private label range RS Pro – short for ‘professional.’ This is a high-performance industrial range designed by engineers and manufactured by global OEMS, but without the high price tag. RS Pro is definitely one of those solutions that will aid customers in reducing their costs without losing on quality, especially coming out of the pandemic.”
KITE 2022 takes place between February 16 and 18, from 9am to 5pm, at the Durban Exhibition Centre, and will also play host to a number of co-located events that provide attendees with the opportunity to increase their knowledge base on current trends and technology within various sectors.
