About SAEFA

The SA Engineers and Founders Association (SAEFA) represents the interests of hundreds of member companies in the metal and engineering industry. These companies range in size from very small employers to large multinational organisations. SAEFA not only offers a wide range of direct services to member companies but also represents the interests of our members at both industry and national levels.

SAEFA’s direct services to member companies, available at a reduced fee to these companies compared to what a non-member company would pay in the market, include assistance on all matters affecting the relationship between themselves and their employees/trade unions – for example:

Dispute resolution

Dispute resolution, conciliation, mediation, arbitration services and represent the interests of our member companies during negotiations

Assistance is also provided with health and safety matters, B-BBEE, contract price adjustments and skills development through our affiliate organisations

Supporting our Members
