LAUNCHING A TECHNICAL CAREER IN AUTOMOTIVE ENGINEERING
The remanufacturing industry holds great potential for school-leavers, according to Metric Automotive Engineering
MULTI-SKILLED ARTISANS ADD VALUE FOR CUSTOMERS
We focus on people and their expertise in the technical environment, creating a multi-skilled and versatile artisan who’s capable of the full range of workshop processes.
SA’S ENGINE COMPONENT REMANUFACTURING ‘A NATIONAL ASSET’
Metric offers advantages aplenty. From job creation and cost-effectiveness to environmental sustainability and foreign exchange conservation. South Africa’s diesel engine component remanufacturing capability is a strategic national asset.
SUPPORTING ESSENTIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS DURING COVID-19 IMPOSED LOCKDOWN
Metric Automotive Engineering is committed to supporting customers who are providing essential services during the current lockdown restrictions imposed as a result of COVID-19, while still meeting the required safety regulations.
EMPOWERING WOMEN IN ENGINEERING THROUGH B-BBEE
Working to embrace the spirit of transformation and development, Metric Automotive Engineering has affirmed its Level 4 status in terms of Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) requirements.
ENGINE IMPORTS THREATEN SA’S ECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITY
South Africa needs to wake up quickly to the dire socio-economic impacts of simply importing new engines rather than remanufacturing existing components locally.
INVESTMENT BY METRIC STRATEGIC CONTRIBUTION TO ENGINEERING CAPACITY
In a boost to South Africa’s engineering capacity and quality, Metric Automotive Engineering has added a new-generation Rottler three-axis CNC machining unit to its workshop. Featuring linear rails for greater accuracy, the machine is the first of its kind in Africa, according to Metric Automotive Equipment operations director Andrew Yorke.
LOCAL REMANUFACTURE OF GAS ENGINE COMPONENTS SAVES TIME, MONEY
As South Africa looks to make greater use of natural gas – and even landfill gas – in the generation of electricity, the good news is that the country has world class engine component remanufacturing capacity to optimise the lifespan and reliability of these generating sets.
REMAN ENGINES: WHY QUALITY ENGINEERING IS NOT EXPENSIVE
“Penny wise and pound foolish” is how Metric Automotive Engineering operations director Andrew Yorke describes the tendency for many equipment owners to try to cut corners when getting engines remanufactured.
NEW GENERATION ENGINES RAISE BAR FOR REMANUFACTURERS
So complex has modern engine design become that companies wanting to have their engines remanufactured should first look carefully at their service provider’s equipment and in-house skills profile.
