Rectron's core business is the importation and

Rectron was established in 1995 distributing CPUs
and memory modules and has steadily grown it's
product range to one of the most comprehensive
available becoming a ‘one stop shop' for the IT
industry in South Africa.
One of the reasons of Rectron's explosive growth
is the healthy relationship we maintain with our
suppliers which provides us with an intimate
knowledge and understanding of the computer
components market both locally and
internationally.

Intel, Microsoft, Toshiba, AOpen, HP, Leadtek,
Maxtor,

importance and influence in this market and also a
reflection of Rectron's success.
This strong partnership helps Rectron provide it's
customers with the right products at the right
price at the right time which gives them the edge
they require in this most competitive of
environments. This has resulted in Rectron's
exponential growth over the last 7 years and
firmly placed Rectron as the leading computer
component solutions provider in

Recognizing the huge growth and potential in
mobile computing, servers, appliances and digital
imaging Rectron's business has evolved recently
into 4 focused divisions being the PC and
components division, the mobile and handheld
division, the peripheral division and the server
and networking division. Each of these divisions
caters for the specific requirements of Rectron's
customers and also reflects the changes that have
taken place recently in IT.
Rectron's success is attributed to a number of
factors. Among these are a clear business vision,
accurate marketing forecasts, responsible
management, mature and effective financial
controls, logistical expertise, excellent
technical capabilities and superior product and
service levels.
Rectron's mission is to be the source by choice of
