Nissan SA opens new head office in Pretoria

Nissan South Africa have opened their new South African operational headquarters in Irene. The new head office will serve as the hub for the company’s administrative and strategic functions in South Africa as well as its Independent Markets Africa division.

These new headquarters will enhance collaboration, streamline processes and allow Nissan to better serve its customers. The move also reinforces Nissan’s commitment to providing a productive and progressive work environment for their team.

Going forward the management, sales, marketing, corporate finance and communications departments will be based at Irene, with the manufacturing operation continuing unchanged at Rosslyn as it has for the last six decades.

In almost every other country, the corporate headquarters of any automotive OEM is physically disassociated from the manufacturing section, to allow company executives, the finance team, sales staff and dealer network liaisons to be more accessible and for them to develop closer contact with the end user, whether that is retail, fleet or government,” said Nissan South Africa and Independent Markets Africa managing director Maciej Klenkiewicz.

“This new head office allows us to do exactly that, as well as providing the opportunity to ensure that we reflect the technological innovation and all-round efficiency that our vehicles are globally renowned for in our day-to-day engagement with the market and our customers,” added Klenkiewicz.

Creating a corporate presence in the city’s financial centre as opposed to locating it out at the factory is not just in keeping with modern practice but also harks back to Nissan’s own history in South Africa.

Nissan SA’s new corporate offices are located at the brand-new Irene Link office park in Doringkloof, South of Pretoria.
