LTA Autecon, formerly known as Grinaker-LTA Mechanical & Electrical, hosted a golf day and dinner at the Glendowner Golf Club on November 27 to celebrate its first year in business as a rebranded and refocused SMEIPP industry stalwart.
As such, the company recently redefined its distinct identity and strategic positioning as a market leader in the SMEIPP construction sectors. With over 40 years of experience, LTA Autecon specialises in delivering an array of construction projects tailored to the oil and gas and mining sectors.
At the post-golf prizegiving and dinner, Managing Director Bheki Mdlalose welcomed over 65 clients, thanking them for their support during the first year of operations. Mdlalose also thanked LTA Autecon’s management and staff, whose unwavering support assisted with the transition of a company that is once again trading under the original and very well-known name used during the 1980s, but implementing a revitalised vision and organisational culture.
Business units
Those enjoying a day out on the greens represented a number of different sectors that are serviced by LTA Autecon’s three distinct business units: Oil & Gas, Metals & Minerals and Electrical & Instrumentation; as well as the wholly-owned, independent subsidiary Grunwald Manufacturing, which manufactures electrical and instrumentation equipment for a host of vertical sectors which are typically not serviced by an SMEIPP business.
The prizegiving before dinner featured first, second and third four ball team prizes, as well as a fun prize for the golfer with the lowest score, and for the one closest to the pin. Together with a bonus prize raffle, this rounded off a highly enjoyable event perfectly.
“LTA Autecon is looking forward to a very positive 2025, which will see us casting our net wider and impacting on several key vertical sectors,” Mdlalose comments.
“The company has been known for many years in the mechanical and electrical sectors, and this year’s relaunching and refocusing move has been a positive one. The outcome is a well-established
SMEIPP business with a proud heritage, which is perfectly positioned to be the partner of choice managing projects for the oil and gas, mining and industrial sectors within South Africa and throughout Africa he concludes.
