News
South African Micro-Electronic Systems (SAMES), a subsidiary of Labat Africa, brought together key players from leading electricity meter manufacturing companies in China, for a week of collaboration and technical discussions. Funded jointly by SAMES and the Department of Trade and Industry, the seminar began on 22 April when 11 delegates arrived at Johannesburg International Airport.
Said Duncan Charity, Director Marketing of SAMES, "the goal of the seminar was to promote further communication and understanding between SAMES and the Chinese manufacturers through collaborative discussions as well as in-house training on SAMES products. Through face-to-face meetings we believe we have enhanced the awareness of each other's requirements, difficulties and points of view and enabled all of us to work side-by-side to the benefit of all companies. In addition a seminar such as this plays an important role in helping SAMES keep abreast of the latest trends in this ever-changing industry."
