Tech leader Acer has unveiled plans to begin monitor production in South Africa, marking a major step towards local manufacturing.
Production is slated to kick off in the coming months, with the initial rollout featuring their consumer monitor range in August 2024.
This will be followed by the introduction of commercial monitors in September, while the gaming monitor lineup will arrive at a later date.
This strategic move aligns with Acer’s wider localization strategy, aiming to boost job creation and pave the way for future technological advancements within the region.
Acer, headquartered in Taiwan, boasts a global manufacturing network spanning key regions.
