SICK Automation relocates to accommodate its expanding footprint

SICK Automation Southern Africa has relocated and is operating from Lanseria Corporate Estate, number 24 Eagle Lane, effective 4 September 2017.

The new premises, five times larger than its current premises, are the result of organic expansion. Operating from Lanseria, a centralised location midway between Johannesburg and Pretoria, the new premises allows capacity for further enhancement of support levels, response times and services for our customers and partners. The in house training facilities will enable SICK to offer high quality in depth training of the company’s extensive product range.

“SICK’s investment in this custom designed, state-of-the-art building is testimony to the strong long-term commitment to its customers and partners in Africa. We thank our loyal customers for providing us with the confidence to embark on such an infrastructure improvement and the new premises will provide a whole new experience for our customers,” says Luxy Moodley, Managing Director, SICK Automation Southern Africa.

“The new premises will help facilitate our commitment to ’Sensor Intelligence’, which draws on all of SICK’s system expertise, supplemented by our experience in a variety of sectors,” she adds. “We combine our detailed application knowledge with reliable software architecture to optimally integrate our sensors into your system – because intelligence is the only way. This creates value for our customers.”

 “This new facility, a milestone for the company, is an important prerequisite  in the company’s next growth phase as we continue to expand our footprint in the local and southern Africa markets, and follows on from the success that SICK has experienced in South Africa,” Moodley concludes.
