Comztek opens office in Zambia
Comztek Africa, a joint venture company between local IT distributor, Comztek and DS Technology Distribution, has opened a branch in Zambia as part of its expansion programme into the SADC region.
Located in Lusaka with a depot office in Kitwe in the heart of the Copper Belt, the new branch services not only Zambia but is also capable of servicing a number of other surrounding countries in the region.
Brett Stevens, sales director at Comztek Africa, says: "Zambia has proved to be a growth point for the IT industry at the moment, particularly in the areas of networking and servers as well as mobile computing. In fact, notebook PCs out-sell their desktop counterparts at a rate of two to one in the country, demonstrating the importance of this particular sector of the PC market in the region and the need to build a local presence."
Comztek Africa`s main aim is to grow its share of the African ICT market through the localisation of various aspects of its operations such as customer interface, stockholding and warranty administration.
The opening of the new branch follows the company`s expansion into other areas in the region including Botswana, Namibia and Zimbabwe in the last year. The company is also looking to open branches in Mozambique and Angola in the near future.
