As the world’s leading economies converge in Johannesburg for the G20 Summit in November 2025, the focus is firmly on strategic investments that will drive global economic growth and industrial transformation. Within this context, the Automotive Supplier Park (ASP) in Rosslyn, Gauteng, stands out as Africa’s premier platform for automotive component manufacturing.
The ASP, a pioneering initiative managed by the Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC), offers G20 investors a unique, competitive, and proven model to penetrate the growing African automotive market. The ASP is explicitly designed for high efficiency, making it the best location for components suppliers on the continent.
Modelled on leading supplier parks in Europe, Japan, and the USA, the ASP’s uniqueness stems from its strategic concentration of the automotive value chain. The park provides component manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers with immediate access to major Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), including BMW, Nissan, Ford, and Tata, all clustered in the Rosslyn area.
This geographical advantage is crucial for suppliers, enabling advanced supply chain strategies such as Just-in-Time (JIT) and Just-in-Sequence (JIS) deliveries.
Tenants benefit from a comprehensive suite of shared infrastructure and value-added services, fostering synergies and cost-saving opportunities. This includes centralised security, a dedicated logistics network, and shared facilities like four-star conference centre, canteen, and medical centre.
The ASP offers a world-class production environment supported by state-of-the-art Information and Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure. Furthermore, the factories are built and maintained according to international automotive standards and are subject to continuous Safety, Health, Environmental, and Quality (SHEQ) standards to ensure legal compliance.
The park, which spans 160 hectares, is actively expanding to meet investor demand.
The ASP’s competitive offering is cemented by its strategic focus on facilitating rapid expansion for new investors. It eliminates real-estate risk by offering dedicated development options. The ASP develops customised turnkey buildings tailored to tenant requirements, offering them on a long-term lease basis. This covers design, legislative approvals, and construction planning.
The park, which spans 160 hectares, is actively expanding to meet investor demand. The AIDC has concrete future development plans to expand the ASP by a further 48 hectares of land.
For G20 investors seeking to establish a resilient, high-efficiency manufacturing base on the African continent, the ASP offers a government-backed, fully integrated ecosystem. The combination of strategic location, shared services, and a dedicated zone for bespoke factory development positions Gauteng as Africa’s most compelling automotive investment destination.
