Engineering group SEGULA Technologies confirms its ambition for growth on the African continent by establishing a design office in Cape Town. This strategic move positions the company as a key regional player, particularly in the energy, rail transport, automotive, and mining sectors. The new site, located in the Constantia district, is intended to become the regional centre for SEGULA’s operations in sub-Saharan Africa.

A local partnership to strengthen the energy offering

To consolidate its position in the energy sector, SEGULA Technologies has signed a memorandum of understanding with AllWeld, a South African company specialised in industrial services and production for more than 60 years. The stated objective is to provide a unified technical and commercial offer, able to mobilise integrated teams to deliver comprehensive solutions in engineering, construction, maintenance, and equipment for the energy and industrial sectors. This approach targets oil and gas, renewable energies, nuclear – particularly through French technology – as well as hydrogen and battery energy storage.

The agreement is expected to address growing demand in South Africa and the region, where investments in hydrogen are already being considered, particularly in Namibia and Zambia. The local energy sector benefits from combined expertise between international players and South African industrial know-how, creating an environment conducive to new infrastructure projects.

Multiple sector ambitions for SEGULA

At the same time, SEGULA Technologies is expanding its activities in the rail sector, supporting major projects involving rolling stock, signalling, and advanced rail systems. The automotive sector also remains a priority, with South Africa being the continent’s leading manufacturing hub with eight major car manufacturers. SEGULA contributes its expertise in product design, industrial processes, logistics, and procurement, strengthening its position in this rapidly growing market.

The engineering group is also exploring the mining sector, relying on the multidisciplinary skills of its teams to meet increasing needs in engineering and maintenance. The South African context, with its developed industrial ecosystem and availability of specialised talent, encourages the emergence of internationally oriented projects.

The management of SEGULA South Africa has stated its objective to recruit more than 100 employees by 2028, aiming to build a competent and responsive local team. According to Jean-Christophe Godet, Managing Director, South Africa’s geographic and linguistic position offers advantages for managing international projects and controlling service costs.
