It was great to welcome a group of Nelson Mandela University Industrial Psychology and Human Resource Management students to Jendamark for a behind-the-scenes look at what we do.

During their visit, they toured our premises, learned more about Jendamark and gained insight into how Industry 4.0 technologies are shaping modern manufacturing.

The visit also gave them a glimpse into the working world and how different people, skills and departments come together in a real business environment.

Efficiency is not only built into our assembly lines. It is also built into the way these ladies keep Jendamark moving every day. ๐Ÿ’

From keeping schedules on track to making sure the small details are taken care of, their contribution makes a real difference across the business.

Happy Secretaryโ€™s Day to our JMK Ladies. We see you, and we appreciate you! ๐Ÿ‘

Americaโ€™s largest automotive exporter by value in 2025 wasnโ€™t an American brand.

Ford, GM or Tesla might be the obvious guesses.

Instead, it was BMW.

BMWโ€™s Spartanburg plant in South Carolina exported nearly 200,000 BMW X models to almost 120 countries, with a total export value of around $9 billion.

The manufacturing numbers behind that headline are just as impressive.

In 2025, Plant Spartanburg produced 412,799 vehicles, making it the third-highest production year in the plantโ€™s 32-year history.

Today, it is BMW Groupโ€™s largest production facility in the world, capable of producing more than 1,500 vehicles per day.

A German brand.
Built in America.
Shipped around the world.

The badge gets the attention, but producing at this scale consistently takes capable manufacturing systems, disciplined processes and skilled people behind it.

So where does the real competitive advantage sit, in the strength of the brand or in the factory behind it?

Did you know the production systems behind cars like these are designed and built right here in Gqeberha?

That is a side of manufacturing most people never get to see.

The car gets the badge but behind it is an entire production system that has to build every component at the right rate and to the right quality.

At Jendamark, that is the kind of work our teams do.

We are currently looking for a Solutions Engineer to help shape the next one.

The role starts with understanding a customerโ€™s manufacturing challenge then working with our mechanical, electrical and innovation teams to develop the right solution and present it to the customer.

One of the best parts is seeing that idea eventually become a real system on a factory floor.

Weโ€™re looking for someone with a background in mechanical, electrical, mechatronic or industrial engineering. Sales experience is not essential. We can teach that part.

Based in Gqeberha.

5 weeks of matches, wrapped up in style. ๐ŸŽพ

This past Wednesday marked the final matches of the Corporate League at TPC. Itโ€™s been awesome watching our team swap safety boots for padel shoes week after week, bringing that same high-energy teamwork straight to the court.

A huge thank you to TPC for hosting a fantastic 5-week tournament, and well done to everyone who competed!

Servo or hydraulics?

That question comes up every time we build a forming machine. Most people answer it by checking whether a roller screw can handle the max force needed. Take an average load, pick a screw and move on.

That is not good enough on a machine that needs to keep running for 5, 10 or even 15 years.

This is why a life cycle calculation matters as much as a force calculation when you are speccing a forming machine. A component that handles the load today can still be the wrong pick once you factor in how many cycles it actually needs to survive.

Want to know when we go electric servo and when we go hydraulic?
Reach out and we will walk you through it.

Recognition, over the years:

2022 - Technology Company of the Year, Africa Tech Week Awards.
2023 - Technology Innovation of the Year, Africa Tech Week Awards, for ODIN Manufacturing, the software we build ourselves.
2023 - New Gen Manufacturing Solutions of the Year, EV Manufacturing
Excellence Awards, for our electric vehicle assembly work.

Each of these traces back to the same starting point. A Solutions Engineer sitting with a customer, understanding the problem properly, and designing a solution worth building.

We're hiring the next person to do that work.

We keep getting asked if this role needs sales experience.
It does not.

What it needs is an engineering mind and the confidence to use it in front of a customer.

We are looking for someone with a background in mechanical, electrical, mechatronic or industrial engineering who can read a drawing and communicate clearly with people.

You will also need a passport and be open to international travel.
The rest we can teach.

That includes costing, estimating, negotiation and assembly process design.

If you have the engineering foundation and the willingness to learn we will help with the rest.

Solutions Engineer. Gqeberha.

Bok Friday got a little more competitive this week. ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ

With SA vs NZ going head to head tomorrow we decided the usual office Bok Friday photo wasnโ€™t going to cut it.

So we headed to Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium to settle the rivalry properly.

The Springbok supporters definitely had the numbers. The All Blacks supporters brought the confidence. Judging by the photos things got competitive pretty quickly. ๐Ÿ˜‚

All in good fun today, but rugby's greatest rivalry starts tomorrow.

Who are you backing? ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฟ

Have you ever added one station and ended up redesigning half of the conveyor line?

Adding a station to a fixed conveyor often means more than a layout tweak. Moving load points, reworking guarding and sometimes a full redesign. That usually means a new budget, new approvals and downtime to install it.

An RGV doesn't eliminate that conversation entirely, but it changes the size of it. Without a fixed conveyor to rebuild, adding a process later is far more often a layout and programming change than a structural one.

It opens up the space around the assembly so they can work the part from different angles, instead of working around a fixed conveyor line.

Our RGVs have a new look. What do you think?
