Mineral Processing equipment supplier
Substantial sales growth with customers in R.S.A, Australia, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia and Chile, Finland, Kazakstan, Papua New Guinea and Morocco.
Regenerative Medicine/Medical Devices
Entry of product (medical aid reimbursement secured) onto South African market. Plans underway to access International Market. Won the 11th NSTF Awards for outstanding contributions made to SETI in the SMME category.
Industry Success Story
Medical Devices Achieved global sales of their various catheter and stent devices, one of the very few SA medical devices Companies to do so.
Advanced thermal sensors
Several joint development agreements in place with international clients* from all continents, spanning the aerospace (Xerox PARC and NASA JPL), medical, energy storage, animal health and printed electronics (ThinFilm Electronics ASA)
Thin film solar technology
A semi commercial plant to produce solar panels has been built at the Technopark in Stellenbosch. The technology has been licensed to Bosch, Germany and Sunvim, China. Several license prospects for Poland and Italy. Interest from local investors (including the Central Energy Fund) to build first turn-key production plant based on this technology.
Concluding remarks
