Ford’s journey in South Africa dates back to the early 20th century when the company began by importing and locally assembling vehicles. Over time, Ford established a full-fledged manufacturing presence in the country.
The Silverton plant near Pretoria, operational since the 1960s, is one of Ford’s major manufacturing hubs. This facility has evolved over the decades to produce robust, high-quality vehicles—most notably the Ford Ranger, which is popular both domestically and in export markets.
Beyond manufacturing, Ford South Africa covers a full spectrum of operations including sales, distribution, and aftersales service. A widespread network of dealerships and service centers ensures that customers receive reliable support and maintenance.
Vehicles produced in South Africa meet global quality standards. The facility not only serves the local market but also exports vehicles to other regions, reinforcing South Africa’s role as a strategic manufacturing and export base for Ford.
