About us
The Automotive Industry Development Centre (AIDC) is the leading agency in support of the automotive industry. The AIDC was established in 2000 as a subsidiary of the Gauteng Growth and Development Agency (GGDA), an entity owned by the Gauteng Provincial Government’s Department of Economic Development.
It was established as a government support centre to increase the local automotive industry’s global competitiveness and to promote Gauteng as the automotive industry investment destination of choice.
The AIDC prides itself as a world-class organisation which specialises in Skills Development and Training, Enterprise Development, Incubation Programmes, Township Hubs and offers state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities.
The AIDC manages the Automotive Supplier Park (ASP) in Rosslyn which houses various automotive component manufacturers, suppliers, and service providers to OEMs. The ASP, the first of its kind in Africa, with proximity to OEM’s and customised offerings remains the best location for components suppliers.

Current Incubation programmes include the Incubation Centre at Ford Motor Company of Southern Africa’s (FMCSA) plant in Silverton and the Incubation Centre at Nissan’s Rosslyn plant. Chamdor Automotive Hub and Winterveldt Enterprise Hub constitute the AIDC’s Township Hubs.
