The Zest WEG Group is positioning itself to become a regional hub of WEG, with subsidiary company Shaw Controls set to become the number one panel builder and systems integrator in Africa,” says Louis Meiring, CEO of the Zest WEG Group. This forms part of the group’s overall strategy to ramp up its automation and electrical systems business significantly, and has seen Valter Luiz Knihs from WEG appointed as group automation & systems director.

“I am very happy to join the team in South Africa and to assist Shaw Controls in delivering full package solutions,” Knihs says. “The strategic focus is for Africa and the Americas to have regional centres of excellence in terms of systems manufacture and integration that will service WEG globally. Shaw Controls will not only be building panels for the local market. For example, WEG could receive an order out of Australia and deem it best that the manufacturing be carried out in South Africa. What this means ultimately is full international accreditation for all of our manufacturing facilities, from Shaw Controls to WEG Transformers Africa.”
Knihs adds: “WEG is committed to being at the forefront of any new standards and regulations, and is in compliance with all certification wherever it operates. This is critical for health and safety considerations, both from a personnel and equipment point of view, which our latest manufacturing techniques take into account.”
