Overview

Durban is the busiest port in sub Saharan Africa and a major industrial city on South Africa's east coast. The Durban region hosts the Port of Durban, petroleum refining and petrochemicals in the South Durban industrial basin, chemicals, paper and pulp, food and beverage, automotive manufacturing, and a large logistics and trading sector. As the primary maritime gateway for South Africa and the wider region, and a centre for refining, petrochemicals, and manufacturing, Durban creates strong demand for API certified, marine grade, and process valves across port, refining, petrochemical, and industrial applications.
