NEW PREMISES FOR RMA AUTOMOTIVE SOUTH AFRICA

RMA Automotive South Africa (RMAA SA) have moved into their new head office and stand-alone Vehicle Modification Centre, located in the Silverton automotive manufacturing hub Northeast of Pretoria.

The newly refurbished facility of 1,500m² will be dedicated to the development of RMAA SA’s Vehicle Modification Business and the supply of RMA Special Vehicles, including our range of mining-specific vehicles, police canopies, HALO ROPS fitments, and Ambulance conversions.

Located in SAMCOR park, Silverton, the new facility has a manufacturing floor of 950m² and a vehicle storage yard and parts warehouse. Mezzanine Offices, meeting rooms, and the engineering studio complete the total offering. All of RMAA SA’s administrative, HR, and financial operations are housed at the facility.

The Ford Journey Continues.

At the same time, RMAA SA’s Ford Vehicle Personalisation team has relocated to the newly built Ford Motor Company South Africa Vehicle Modification Centre (VMC). The production and quality teams will continue providing accessory fitments to Ford Rangers destined for both local and export markets.

The FMCSA VMC has been designed in preparation for the launch of the new Ford Ranger in South Africa, later this year.  It is conveniently and strategically located in the FMCSA Transport yard for easy access to vehicle carriers and trains to Durban.  The facility boasts a production floor of 2700m² and a 900m² warehouse.

The facility includes a 60m² ‘Squeak and Rattle track’ for additional Quality Assurance.  Not only will our teams have incredible facilities, but all quality tracking and reporting systems are state-of-the-art and completely digitised.

We’re ready!

Brendan Londt, Country Manager for RMAA SA points out, “By expanding to the two facilities we have the ability to continue our relationship with Ford and can also open our vehicle modifications business to other popular South African vehicle brands.”

RMAA SA can deliver outstanding products that are engineered in-house according to our customer’s requirements. Our engineering and manufacturing strengths are now complemented by our ‘fit for purpose’ facility making it the perfect new home for RMA Special Vehicles.

RMA AUTOMOTIVE SOUTH AFRICA OPENS NEW MODIFICATION CENTRE

RMA Automotive South Africa (RMAASA) have moved into their new stand-alone Vehicle Modification Centre.

Located in the Silverton automotive manufacturing hub northeast of Pretoria, the newly purchased 1,500m² facility will be dedicated to the development of RMAASA’s vehicle modification business and supply of RMA Special Vehicles.

At the same time, RMAASA’s Ford Vehicle Personalisation facility will relocate to its newly built premises within Ford Motor Company Southern Africa. It will operate independently from the
Modification Centre.

RMAASA’s new Modification Centre has a single manufacturing floor of 950m 2 , and a storage and parts facility. Offices, meeting rooms, and the engineering studio make up an additional 310m 2 and are located on the upper mezzanine level. All of RMAA-SA’s administrative, HR and financial operations will be housed at the facility with twelve permanent staff having been relocated here.

Brendan Londt, Country Manager for RMAASA points out, “We are ready to partner with any of the South African OEMs, fleet owners and dealers. We can deliver outstanding products that are engineered in house according to our customer’s requirements. Our engineering and manufacturing strengths are now complemented by our ‘fit for purpose’ facility making it the perfect new home for RMA Special Vehicles”.

The additional production space and parking will raise output capacity significantly compared to the previous facility which had been located within Ford Motor Company, and with the added benefit of now being able to work on all brands of vehicles. Outdoor vehicle storage is available for up to twenty vehicles in front of and behind the building.

RMAASA recently achieved BBBEE Level 4 status which enables it to bid for lucrative Government and parastatal vehicle tenders as well as on a wider range of jobs partnering with other BBBEE compliant customers.

RMAASA has long standing relationships with many OEMs and fleet owners and has a long track record of producing a range of special vehicles such as mine site vehicles, security and police vehicles for the South African market.
