A river port with a car plant beside it, East London mixes motor trimming with plenty of household work. Trimmers near the West Bank and Wilsonia recover car and bakkie seats, fit roof linings and supply leather conversions, while furniture upholsterers recover lounge suites and dining chairs in Vincent, Berea, Nahoon and Beacon Bay.
