A leading South African Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) in the low-voltage electrical enclosure sector, Power Process Systems (PPS), will participate in the 72nd Association of Municipal Electricity Utilities (AMEU) Convention, taking place from 4 to 7 October 2026 at the Ranch Resort in Polokwane, South Africa.
With its theme ‘Empowering South Africa’s Energy Future: Leveraging Artificial Intelligence and Smart Technologies for a Stable, Balanced, Just and Sustainable Energy Transition in Electricity Utilities’, the AMEU Convention is the premier annual gathering for electricity distribution industry leaders, municipal utilities, engineers, and technology providers. The event provides a vital platform for knowledge-sharing, innovation, and collaborative solutions to South Africa’s evolving energy challenges.
Speaking ahead of the convention, Nhlanhla Zondo, Director of PPS, highlights the company’s objectives: “The main goal for PPS this year is to reiterate the presence position and abilities of PPS within the Electrical Enclosure Industry, including the introduction of some new and very exciting products which we believe will have a big impact and add definite contributions to the national electricity enclosures and associated equipment industry.”
Tackling Infrastructure Vandalism and Enhancing Safety
South Africa’s electricity sector continues to face significant challenges due to vandalism and infrastructure sabotage. PPS is actively addressing these issues through dedicated research and development. At AMEU 2026, PPS will showcase solutions specifically designed to counter such threats.
These include AV-CAB, an anti-vandal copper aluminium busbar, refurbishment of minisubs and kiosks to enhance public safety and protect utility revenue, and new secure kiosk locking mechanism designed to strengthen revenue protection for municipalities. “PPS continuously strives, through our R&D programme, to be innovative and develop new ideas and methods to assist in countering vandalism issues,” says Zondo.
Supporting Municipalities and Utilities
PPS engages directly with municipalities and utilities to identify infrastructure challenges and co-develop solutions. “Our R&D Team analyses the gathered information to design, manufacture and implement suggested solutions through pilot programmes that are monitored and results presented back to the client. It is only through real-time infrastructure exposure that we can confirm if a specific solution to the faced challenges was met with success,” explained Zondo.
Established over three decades ago, PPS remains the only South African-based LV enclosure OEM offering the full spectrum of materials, from fibreglass to polyethylene and all grades of steel. This versatility, combined with its national and international footprint, underpins the company’s industry leadership.
“We are very proud to say that we have been servicing the electrical LV enclosure industry for 32 years. There is no monetary value that can buy experience of how to approach and execute things within the industry,” adds Zondo.
Commitment to Local Manufacturing and Skills Development
PPS produces 100% locally manufactured solutions, supported by South African labour. Through initiatives such as the Youth Employment Service (YES) programme, PPS not only develops skills but also integrates young talent into the full product lifecycle.
“As an OEM, we pride ourselves to produce local and use local labour in doing so. Furthermore, we are involved in skills development through the YES programme where we absorb and employ young individuals after a skills development process,” says Zondo.
The AMEU Convention attracts electricity distribution leaders from across South Africa, the continent, and beyond, making it an unparalleled platform for networking, knowledge exchange, and product showcasing.
“The AMEU Convention brings together electricity distribution industry leaders and representatives from all over South Africa, Africa as well as the rest of the world. Therefore, it is an ideal platform for a company such as ours to get full exposure within a short period of time all under one roof,” notes Zondo.
PPS will be exhibiting at Stands 50 and 51, where delegates will be able to engage directly with the team and explore the latest solutions in enclosure innovation and infrastructure protection. PPS will also feature a video demonstration of its newly revolutionised hydraulic metering kiosks. Due to weight and technical restrictions, a physical sample will not be on display, but the kiosks can be discussed in detail with the PPS team.
“To be present and showcasing new ideas during the 2026 AMEU Convention affords us the opportunity to engage with our clients and solidify PPS’s presence and abilities not only to our current clients, but also to possible future clients,” concludes Zondo.
