TEMIC was established through a joint venture undertaking between Poynting (PTY) Ltd and Lawrence Global Manufacturing primarily for the local production of the DigiAnt digital TV antenna.

The production of the DigiAnt, which was recently chosen as one of the products that will be supplied as part of the USAASA digital migration tender, marks a milestone in South Africa’s progress towards digital migration and it brings great opportunity for social and economic development in the Tshwane East area.

Economic Development through Incubation:

The Incubation Centre is strategically located to be accessible for the Eersterust, Mamelodi, Nellmaphius and surrounding areas. Through the enterprise development programme of TEMIC, SMMEs will be incubated to partake meaningfully in the business and manufacturing opportunities emanating from the massive Broadcasting Digital Migration to be implemented in South Africa as well as other African countries.

The Incubation Centre also promotes the development of small businesses involved in the production of high pressure aluminium die casting and steel fabrication products. TEMIC is accelerating SMME development by providing support to small, medium and micro enterprises over a three year incubation period.
