Denel (Pty) Ltd is a relatively new South African government dominated military-industrial and technological conglomorate established in 1991. It was created when the manufacturing subsidaries of Armscor were split from Armscor in order for Armscor to be solely the procurement arm of the South African Defence Force (SADF), now known as the South African National Defence Force (SANDF), and the manufacturting divisions were grouped together under Denel (Pty) Ltd as divisions.
Denel was established as a state-owned industrial company under the Ministry of Public Enterprises in April 1992. It inherited most of Armscor’s production and research facilities, and over 15 000 employees. At the time of its formation, Denel restructured and reorganised the former Armscor subsidiaries into a number of divisions and subsidiaries within five industrial groups: systems, manufacturing, aerospace, informatics, and properties and engineering services.[1]
