Magnaclad has moved into its new permanent home in Pretoria – a 10,000 square metre facility which has been completely refitted to accommodate the company’s growing team. The newly opened Magnaclad Technology Centre houses one of three automated roll-forming machines used for the manufacturing of building frames. Each machine has the capacity to manufacture 2000 to 3000 metres of steel-frame buildings per daily shift. This capacity translates into 2 to 3 100sqm houses. According to company president Jacques van den Berg, the focus of Magnaclad’s Technology Centre is to provide integrated support services. "By locating our sales and marketing, quantity surveying, architectural, engineering, manufacturing, procurement and logistics teams under the same roof, we can provide comprehensive support services.
