SEGULA Technologies officially establishes itself in South Africa: by opening an engineering office in Cape Town, the country’s most dynamic city, the engineering group confirms its commitment to local development.

Located in the Constantia district of the “Mother City,” the new office is set to become a regional hub for the group’s activities in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly in the following areas:

• Energy: the group intends to deploy its expertise alongside global players in the oil and gas, renewable energy (solar, wind), nuclear and hydrogen sectors, as well as in energy storage (batteries) and French nuclear technology.

In order to consolidate its offering in this sector, SEGULA Technologies has also recently signed a memorandum of understanding with AllWeld, a South African industrial services and production company with 60 years of experience in the energy and industrial sectors. The common goal is to jointly meet the needs of their customers through a unified technical and commercial offering that combines the strength of SEGULA Technologies as an international group with AllWeld’s production capabilities and in-depth knowledge of the local industry. The two partners will thus be able to mobilize integrated teams and offer a wide range of equipment, construction, maintenance, and engineering services.

The outlook is also promising for hydrogen in neighboring countries, particularly Namibia and Zambia.

• Rail: SEGULA collaborates with leaders on major projects in the fields of rolling stock, signaling, and advanced rail systems.

• Automotive: South Africa is the continent’s leading manufacturing country, with eight major manufacturers, making it a dynamic market in which SEGULA is already present. SEGULA Technologies brings its expertise in product design, industrial processes, quality, logistics, and purchasing to this rapidly growing sector.

SEGULA is also exploring opportunities in the mining sector, drawing on the multidisciplinary skills of its teams to meet growing needs in engineering, maintenance, and innovation.

« The opening of the SEGULA Technologies office in Cape Town marks an important step in its international expansion. South Africa, with its advanced industrial ecosystem and skilled talent, is becoming a regional hub to support the continent’s transformation. A true bridge between the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa, it offers a strategic time zone, controlled service costs, and English as the working language, facilitating the management of international projects. SEGULA is deploying its expertise in the energy, rail, automotive, and soon mining sectors. Our goal is to recruit more than 100 employees by 2028 in order to build a local and agile engineering capacity focused on the future of the continent.
