South Africa’s mining, power, electrical, automation, industrial, transport, and manufacturing sectors are the engine of the nation’s economy. Together, they drive growth, create jobs, and turn raw materials into value-added products that fuel trade and exports. ELECTRA MINING AFRICA ADDS NEW OUTSIDE EXHIBIT AREA
E lectra Mining Africa brings all these industries together in one dynamic trade show, offering a platform for buyers, sellers, and decision- makers to connect, explore innovations, and forge partnerships. With in-person networking and cutting-edge exhibitor content, Electra Mining Africa is where industry collaboration meets business growth. The biennial show is set to unveil several exciting additions in 2026, among them, a new outside exhibit area located in the Arena at the Expo Centre. According to Montgomery Group Africa port- folio director Charlene Hefer, the introduction of the new Orange Zone comes in direct response to exhibitor demand. “The new Orange Zone provides the additional space needed to accommodate more companies that want to showcase their equip- ment and innovations outside,” says Hefer. ”There will be more original-equipment manufacturers than at previous shows and this level of representation will be of benefit to visitors interested in this particular sector as they are able to view, compare and evalu- ate the offerings all in one place. The Orange Zone complements the existing Red, Blue, Green, and
Yellow Zones, creating an even more dynamic outdoor showcase.” Exhibitors located in the outside exhibit areas will span the full mining and industrial equipment value chain - from global and local OEMs to leading component and service providers. Major OEMs such as South African heavy equipment manufacturer Bell Equipment, global mining and construction machinery OEM Komatsu, mining equipment and tools OEM Sandvik, drilling, global construction and mining OEM Sany, mining machin- ery OEM Eickhoff, specialist man- ufacturer/supplier OEM All Terrain Mining & Tunnelling Machinery, and
