These operations depend on control systems, instrumentation, radios and heavy electrical equipment, which are replaced during upgrades and shutdowns. Office IT at port and plant administration buildings adds a steady flow of computers and printers, and a university campus at nearby KwaDlangezwa adds more. Households in Empangeni and Meerensee produce appliances. Industrial sites are the main clients.
