AECI recognised as top employer

AECI has been ranked eighth in Forbes’ 2024 list of South Africa’s Best Employers.

This recognition reflects AECI’s focus on nurturing talent, fostering a culture of innovation and promoting collaboration across its diverse industries, including mining and chemicals.

The recently held AECI Leadership and Culture Masterclass, themed ‘To the Moon and Back’, was a key initiative that demonstrated the company’s dedication to building a culture that aligns leadership goals with employee growth.

The event brought together a global workforce that will now embark on one of the most important journeys for AECI towards future growth.

Holger Riemensperger, AECI group chief executive officer, reinforced the company’s commitment to its employees.

“Our people are at the heart of everything we do,” Riemensperger said. “AECI’s success is built on their passion and resilience, and we remain committed to creating a workplace where every individual can thrive.

“Being recognised as a top employer is a reflection of our ongoing efforts to cultivate a culture of innovation, collaboration and excellence.”

Operating across the global mining and chemicals sectors, AECI relies on the talent and dedication of its employees to deliver cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving demands of these industries.

The recognition by Forbes reinforces AECI’s people-first approach and its commitment to fostering a workplace culture that drives both innovation and operational excellence.

As the company continues its international expansion, particularly in key growth markets like the Asia Pacific and Latin America, its people will remain central to its growth strategy and industry leadership.
