SAQI members had the privilege of visiting McCain South Africa’s Delmas facility for an insightful plant tour, offering a behind-the-scenes look at one of the country’s leading food manufacturers.

At SAQI, our plant tours are designed to provide quality professionals with opportunities to learn from industry leaders, share knowledge, and network with peers across different sectors. While every organisation has its own unique processes, one principle remains constant:

Quality is universal and it should never be compromised.

A sincere thank you to the McCain Foods South Africa team, especially Mr Navin Arujun, for their warm hospitality, openness, and willingness to share their expertise. We look forward to future opportunities to learn from organisations that continue to set the benchmark for quality excellence.
