Testimonials

Drill Rod Specialist (DRS) has benefited immensely from MEMSA membership. Most specifically in the opportunity to attend training in executive change management, as well as competitive manufacturing techniques.
MEMSA enabled DRS to access dtic funded initiatives such as participation in Investing in African Mining Indaba and the Outward Selling Mission to WAMPEX in Ghana. Interaction with fellow members has also broadened our understanding of the mining industry and additional business that DRS does with other members.

MEMSA had played a key role in representing Bell and other MEMSA members in resolving disputes with National, provincial and local government. As a neutral party protecting the interests of local manufacturers who compete against importers. MEMSA was represented at the recent mining Indaba where we were given an opportunity to address the opening ceremony which had the effect of highlighting the need to support local manufacturers to a broader audience who were otherwise unaware of the impact of not supporting local manufacturers.
