OVERVIEW

The National Tooling Initiative (NTI) is an initiative that has, as a national objective, the rehabilitation of the South African Tool, Die and Mould Making (TDM) industry and thereby contributing to a strategic growth stimulator for Manufacturing and Technical skills development.

The NTI has been developed as a national, multi-stakeholder initiative and structured as a Public Private Partnership (PPP). This has been done in order for government and industry to co-operate in the large scale intervention that is required to rehabilitate the TDM industry.

5 major driving programs have been identified and defined in order to focus all efforts towards achieving the rehabilitation objective: They are:

  • Skills and expertise development.
  • Capacity expansion,SMME and BBBEE Structuring.
  • Technology recapitilization.
  • Competitiveness improvement and export development.
  • PPP Governance structure development.
Stakeholders take part and contribute to these programs on both regional and national level through capacitated legal structures, and forums.

TASA (Toolmaking Association of South Africa) has played a founding role in the establishment of the NTI. A subsidiary of TASA, NTIP (Pty) Ltd was founded and is acting as the Management and Delivery Agency for the NTI.
