Individuals are Powerful - Using our Voice
APMMA was formed and registered as a result of collaboration amongst the informal business owners in townships due to difficulties and challenges they faced on a daily basis for survival. Primarily the organisation is comprised of SMME business owners which are panel beaters, spray painters and motor mechanics. Organisation has since spread in many parts of the country including Rural Areas.

We create “Awareness” among Consumers, Artisans as well as in the entrepreneurs, about their rights and responsibilities enshrined in the “Guidelines for Competition in the South African Automotive Aftermarket “and in the “Automotive Industry Transformation Fund”. We are adamant that these two guidelines if implemented correctly they will surely create most needed viable and sustainable SMME’s , and create decent job opportunities assist in fighting back the frontiers of poverty.
Our Recent Project
APMMA has commissioned an independent Automotive Assessment company (ACE Assessments) to conduct independent assessments and Gap Analysis of all APMMA Member Workshops on an annual basis.
The purpose of the assessments was to identify all the challenges faced by our Members. The assessment reports will form the basis for developing individual Improvement/Development Plans, ranging from Skills, Tools, Equipment and most importantly, Access to Markets.
In August 2023, APMMA ran extensive Women's Month social media campaigns to celebrate our Female Members, their accomplishments and achievements in the Automotive Industry.
We aim to attract more Women into the sector through apprenticeship and learnerships by creating an equal opportunity environment.
We are in the final stages of fromalising a partnership with AIDC Eastern Cape that will see APMMA and AIDC-EC work together to transform the Automotive Industry in the Eastern Cape.
This partnership aims to create jobs for youth, women and different abled individuals in the Eastern Cape by encouraging tranformation and inclusivity in the Automotive Industry.
