    Report Coverage

    This report focuses on the Manufacture and Wholesale of Pumps, Compressors, Taps and Valves.\r\nIt includes comprehensive profiles of 32 companies including the largest pump manufacturers in South Africa, Weir Minerals, KSB and Sulzer Pumps SA. It also includes a profiles on Ainsworth Engineering, which, together with sister company UVC, has changed ownership.\r\n

    Introduction

    This report focuses on the manufacture and wholesale of pumps, compressors, taps and valves in South Africa. The valve and pumps sector, which is valued at approximately R5.5bn per annum, is being affected by increasing imports, the weak local economy, volatile exchange rates and insufficient skills. The increasing cost of production has resulted in many manufacturers ceasing manufacturing operations and becoming resellers of products imported mainly from China.

    Strengths

    • High levels of innovation as locally-based subsidiaries of foreign multinational companies have access to advanced research and development facilities.

    Weaknesses

    • Input costs for local manufacture are high so companies cannot compete with imported products.
    • Reliant on a consistent supply of reasonably-priced scrap metal to the foundries.
    • The manufacturing industry is energy-intensive.

    Opportunities

    •  The government’s Industrial Policy Action Plan and the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act should support the pumps and valves industry by designating products for local procurement with minimum content thresholds.
    • Ageing infrastructure requires investment by government.
    • Demand for pumps from the renewable energy sector.
    • Repair and refurbishment of critical valves.

    Threats

    • Increasing imports of cheap Asian products.
    • More foundries closing down.
    • Skill shortages.

    Outlook

    The South African pumps and valves industry is expected to continue experiencing difficult trading conditions amidst a weak economy, rising production costs, shortage of skills and cheap imports. Although the requirement that state-owned enterprises specify a minimum of 70% local content has the potential to create significant job opportunities along the valves value chain, it remains to be seen whether manufacturers will be able to win the battle against the cheap imported valves that enter the South African market. This challenge is further compounded by a shortage of specialised engineering skills that can deal with valve design and manufacturing. Brimis Engineering technical director Moeketsi Mpotu said: “The industry must continue to perform to expected technical specifications and at competitive price points, while all stakeholders, including government, must support an enabling environment. Industry should have deliberate programmes to assist new entrants to play a meaningful role in the supply and maintenance of valves.”

    Report Coverage

    This report examines the major activities of the sector, the size and state of the industry and outlines the initiatives implemented by government in an attempt to revive the manufacturing sector. The report profiles 20 companies, including the three largest pump manufacturers, Weir Minerals, KSB and Sulzer Pumps SA. Also profiled is AVK Holding Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd, a Danish valve company that acquired a majority stake in South Africa’s Premier Valves Group (PVG) in 2014.

    Introduction

    This report focuses on the manufacture and wholesale of pumps, compressors, taps and valves in South Africa. The valve and pumps sectors are valued at approximately R5.5bn per annum and experienced weak growth over the past year, mainly because government projects in the water supply sector were postponed. Valve manufacturers rely largely on State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for business, with the water and power generation industries accounting for 43% of the total valve market.

    Strengths

    • High levels of innovation as locally based subsidiaries of foreign multinational companies have advanced research and development facilities.

    Weaknesses

    • Input costs for local manufacture are high so companies cannot compete with imported products.
    • Reliant on a consistent supply of reasonably priced scrap metal to the foundries.
    • SABS product certification processes and procedures are complex and not all are recognised internationally.
    • The manufacturing industry is energy-intensive.

    Opportunities

    • Ageing infrastructure requires investment by government.
    • Demand for pumps from the renewable energy sector.
    • Export of pumps as demand overseas increases.
    • The government’s IPAP and the Preferential Procurement Policy Framework Act should support the pumps and valves industry by designating products for local procurement with minimum content thresholds.

    Threats

    • Increasing imports of cheap Asian products.
    • More foundries closing down.
    • Skill shortages.

    Outlook

    SAPSDA chairperson Gareth Langton reported that despite the many challenges that local pumps manufacturers face, the South African sector has the potential to become a world class supplier of high quality pump products and will be able to compete with other “low-cost countries” if manufacturers improve their operational efficiencies. Respondents from both the pumps and valves sectors believe that if the many government projects such as water schemes, dams and oil pipelines materialise, the industry will flourish as will the upstream and downstream value chain. According to SAPSDA executive committee member Thys Wehmeyerr, the local pumps sector will also benefit from exporting to lucrative overseas markets if the SABS product certification processes and procedures are simplified and amended so they are recognised by other international certification authorities.

    Introduction

    This report focuses on the manufacture and wholesale of pumps, compressors, taps and valves in South Africa. The Southern African Pump Systems Development Association (SAPSDA) (previously The South African Pumps Manufacturers’ Association (SAPMA)) reported that an audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is currently underway in an attempt to determine the value of the local pump industry. The value of the taps and mixers manufacturing industry is estimated at R1.2bn. During 2013 pumps, compressors, taps and valves to the value of R12.87bn were imported while exports amounted to R5.76bn.

    Strengths

    • High levels of innovation as locally based subsidiaries of\nforeign multinational companies have advanced research\nand development facilities.
    • Locally manufactured brands are supported by the\navailability of spare parts and technical backup.
    • Pump manufacturing facilities are currently running at\nonly 50% to 60% capacity so plants can increase\nproduction.

    Weaknesses

    • Input costs for local manufacture are high so companies\ncannot compete with imported products.
    • Reliant on a consistent supply of reasonably priced scrap\nmetal to the foundries.
    • The manufacturing industry is energy intensive.

    Opportunities

    • Increased mining and oil and gas discoveries and\ndevelopments in the rest of Africa.
    • New scrap metal export rules should ensure procurement\nat a preferential price, which should enable local\nmanufacturers to compete internationally.
    • The government’s infrastructure programme will amount\nto R847bn over the next three years. New Eskom power\nstations are being built and local manufacturers will\nbenefit from this build programme.
    • The government’s IPAP and the Preferential Procurement\nPolicy Framework Act are supporting the pumps and\nvalves industry by designating products for local\nprocurement with minimum content thresholds.\nManufacturers are allowed to access the projected spend\nof SOEs.
    • The need for energy efficient, environmentally–friendly\nand intelligent products are driving development of new\nproducts.

    Threats

    • Increasing imports of cheap Asian products.
    • Skill shortages.
    • Strikes in the mining sector which will result in missed opportunities and profits for the pump and valve industry.

    Outlook

    The IPAP 2013/2014 – 2015/2016 estimates that the country’s mineral reserves and resources are worth more than $2.5-trillion so the opportunities for the downstream pumps and valves industry are immense. However, the current mining climate has had a negative impact on the local pump manufacturing industry as the mining sector accounts for almost 30% of the industry’s output. Demand for pumps and valves is expected to increase in the power generation sector, with Eskom forecast to account for 11% of pump demand. John Thompson, organiser of the Pumps, Valves and Pipes Africa (PVPA) trade exhibition in May 2013, announced that about R1.47bn of Eskom’s projected capacity expansion budget will be spent over the next five years on valves and valve spares. New markets opening up in the mining sector in the rest of Africa are also expected to have a positive effect on local pump and valve production, which should be stimulated by the implementation of the Preferential Procurement Policy. If properly implemented, turnover of between R4bn and R5bn per annum for the valve industry alone has been forecast.
