Having started life as a traditional magazine publisher, Promech Publishing has had the privilege of producing "The SA Mechanical Engineer" in print for many years. The publication is the official journal of The SA Institution of Mechanical Engineering and is endorsed by a number of associated bodies. The publication enjoyed a successful run and was well-respected by members and readers at large. But the internet waits for no man. As a result, both Promech and SAIMechE have now fully bid magazine publishing farewell and embraced the digital space.
