Some years ago, the South African government put in place the Motor Industry Development Programme (MIDP) in order to support the automotive industry and to assist it in breaching the gap created prior to 1994. Its primary aim was to enable the South African automotive industry to become world class and in so doing, to integrate it into global supply chains.

That the programme has been successful can be seen by the fact that every single South African automotive manufacturer today has in place a fully-fledged export programme. Formex Pressings is particularly proud that it has been able to participate in many of these programmes by supplying components to these manufacturers.
