Graeme van Zyl – Top 40 Under 40

5 January 2012 By Alan Straton

The Top 40 under 40 is a showcase of local business talent under the age of 40 compiled by the Nelson Mandela Bay Business Chamber (NMBBC).

Graeme van Zyl (39), is the Operations Director at Jendamark Automation.

It’s team work that pulls a company through, according to Jendamark Automation’s Operations Director Graeme van Zyl. “The foundation of our company is built on a strong partnership that we can count on through every challenge,” he says.

Van Zyl believes that any success he enjoys is down to the leadership he shares within Jendamark, and that as a team “we keep it simple and do it right.” His current portfolio at Jendamark Automation covers operational management, focusing on strengthening its operations internationally. Jendamark has recently supplied and installed currently the fastest assembly cell for the production of catalytic converters to the USA, an achievement of which his company is proud of.

The father of two is an active sportsman, and avid supporter of local sports. “These days, I’m Player 23 to my kids’ teams too!”

Van Zyl is an advocate of fairness in the workplace, who believes that level-headedness and different points of view lead to good decisions.

The Top 40 Under 40 list, an NMBBC initiative, was compiled from nominations and selected by an independent panel at the NMBBC. The end result is a showcase of talented and ambitious young businesspeople from diverse sectors in Nelson Mandela Bay. From 7 December 2011, MyPE showcases one under 40 achiever a day.
