Exactly one year after being appointed as Deputy Plant Manager for Continental Tyre South Africa, Ramoabi Moeng has been promoted to Plant Manager of the Gqeberha facility which celebrates its 75th anniversary this year. It is the German tyre manufacturer’s only plant in Africa, producing world-class tyres for the original equipment (OE) and replacement tyre sectors in South Africa, as well as exports around the world. Moeng replaces Ahmed Boualam who has left the company to pursue other opportunities.
“I am delighted to announce Ramoabi Moeng as our new Plant Manager to lead the important manufacturing operations that are an essential part of our local and export business,” said Martin Buday, MD of Continental Tyre South Africa.
He joined Continental Tyre SA in 2016 as Maintenance Manager and was selected to lead the Manufacturing Engineering Technologies team in 2018, a position he held until being appointed Deputy Plant Manager in August 2021.
“Leading the Continental Tyre SA manufacturing operations in South Africa is a fantastic opportunity, and I look forward to cementing the trust placed in our company by our customers and stakeholders alike,” said Moeng.
