ifm – 10Years in South Africa

ifm celebrated ten years in South Africa at a glittering gala dinner for its clients at Avianto, Muldersdrift. The celebration was on 1 March 2018 – exactly 10 years after ifm opened its doors in South Africa. Alwyn Skelton, Managing Director of ifm South Africa, thanked customers, staff and ifm Germany for their commitment and support over the ten years. He looked back over the years and congratulated staff on helping the company to achieve its goals. Alwyn also looked to the future for ifm: “As we are a manufacturer of instrumentation and automation products, we are one of the companies that believes in the phrase ‘changing lives through technology’.

Now this, especially in South Africa, is often seen as technology that possibly reduces jobs. But we in ifm see it rather as upliftment. Our technology does not reduce jobs, but rather changes busi- nesses into more productive, efficient and profitable organisations, ones that grow and prosper.” Enquiries: Celia de Beer.
