As part of the 19th SLOM 2023 Conference, Gregorio Rojas from Inspenet.com had the honor of interviewing James Plastow, General Manager of Constellation Engineering , a prominent South African company in the hose solutions sector with 16 years of history.
Plastow highlighted the uniqueness of SLOM compared to other conferences. “The benefit of working in a favela environment is unique to our industry where all the major players are together. It’s very specific to what we do,” he said.
Although Constellation Engineering did not present any significant changes to its product offering since the last conference in Colombia, Plastow mentioned a noticeable increase in sales and business presence in the region. “Brazil has always been a difficult market to penetrate. However, this event has given us the opportunity to meet many interesting people who require our products,” he added.
Finally, on the growing influence of the BRICS and the momentum they are having, Plastow shared his optimistic view. According to him, companies based in the Global South better understand the unique problems and needs of other companies in the same region. He also highlighted South Africa’s strategic position in facilitating production, logistics and understanding different political and cultural realities.
