👏🤝👩💼🏭 : NAACAM’s membership was integral in the establishment of the NAACAM Education Initiative in remembrance of Dr Van Zyl. 40 NAACAM members raised a total of R400 000 that is being used to fully-fund a manufacturing-focused MBA at Toyota Wessels Institute for Manufacturing Studies (TWIMS).
As a token of remembrance NAACAM President, Ugo Frigerio, and NAACAM Executive Director, Renai Moothilal presented Mr Andrew Kirby, CEO and President of Toyota SA, with a brake disc manufactured by NAACAM member, Auto Industrial Group. The brake disc has the names of all contributors engraved on it.
Speaking at the handover event, Mr Kirby acknowledged the gratitude of Toyota SA in having Dr van Zyl recognised in this manner, and mentioned that “this was another great example of the supportive working relationship that existed between Toyota and its supplier base in South Africa and is a wonderful way to honour and remember the remarkable contribution Dr van Zyl made in the field of industrialisation and education.” ATE South Africa Microfinish Brink Towing Systems SA Creative Graphics International First National Battery; Settlers way Hansens Engineering Pty Ltd JMP - Natal Gaskets Shatterprufe Supreme Spring Wekaba Engineering
