These components are used for engines in the Volkswagen Crafter and the A1 Citi Golf, as well as for the new Volkswagen Global Engine EA111.
"Volkswagen of South Africa believes that Halberg Guss South Africa has proved its capabilities and expertise this past year and reinforced that it can compete against global players, working under stringent timing deadlines. We also recognise Halberg Guss SA as our export partner," explained Volkswagen at the awards ceremony.
