Opening of Yokogawa South Africa Office
Yokogawa Middle East & Africa is proud to announce the official opening of brand
new offices of Yokogawa South Africa that oversees Yokogawa’s Southern African
business in Cresta, Randburg.
The new office space is a major step forward in the growth and expansion of
Yokogawa on the African Continent.
The event coincided with a visit from President and Chief Executive Officer of
Yokogawa Middle East and Africa, Hideki Matsubayashi, and members of the Senior
Management team. “Our new office is a major step forward in our plans to grow
our footprint in Southern Africa and specifically in target industries including the
oil and gas, refining, mining and power sectors,” comments Johan Louw, manag-
ing director.
A fully integrated and interactive demonstration area displays Pressure, Flow
and Wireless Field Instrumentation, Analyser Field Instrumentation, Recorders and
Controllers and a ‘plant in a box’ simulator. All instruments connect to Yokogawa’s
