Results of 2015 National Localisation Indaba Buyer-Supplier Linkage meetings

80 private, pre-arranged meetings were facilitated in total, a 160% increase in the number of meetings from 2014.

“Connectco exhibited at the 2015 National Localisation Indaba which opened a range of opportunities for us. We engaged with an OEM which connected us to a number of tier one and two suppliers. We’ve begun four new viable commercial relationships with steadily growing volumes. The meetings arranged also brought in new opportunities in the way of official RFQ’s coming from the OEM. The revenue brought in via the National Localisation Indaba is currently in excess of R1m per month. We have also been asked to come aboard to take part in the OEM’s localization project, which kicks off shortly.”
