Computer distributor Rectron, the leading components distributor in SA, is opening a branch in Port Elizabeth to service dealers, value-added resellers and systems integrators in the coastal and inland areas spanning George to East London.
The new branch office, which is to be headed by Jacqui Hammer, will distribute the full range of products marketed and supported by Rectron nationally.
"Our expansion in Port Elizabeth is key to our growth objectives in the Eastern Cape," says Hammer. "We see new business opportunities arising for Rectron in serving what is becoming one of SA`s fastest-growing industrial growth areas with major developments such as the new Koega harbour and related new business initiatives."
The new branch will comprise five sales and two technical support personnel as well as distribution and administration staff.
"One of the main reasons for opening the new branch is because of the large number of requests we`ve had from dealers in the Eastern Cape for us to have a presence there," she says. "They know our products go beyond the run-of-the-mill PCs, servers and printers which the other distributors handle.
"We`ve therefore decided to open a fully staffed branch offering top quality sales and technical support from day-one.
"All the staff will spend two weeks in Johannesburg learning about Rectron so that we when we open the doors, we`ll be able to deliver a first-rate service with no surprises."
Among the components and accessories to be distributed by the branch are Intel, AMD and TwinMOS memory modules, Gigabyte motherboards, Gigabyte, Leadtek and Matrox graphics cards, Intel server solutions and Intel, Alfa Networking and Maxtor server networking accessories and A Open desktop and server chassis.
The branch will also represent leading branded products such as Canon and HP printers, Toshiba mobile and server solutions Handspring PDAs, Maxtor, Fujitsu and Ricoh storage solutions, Jazz speaker, Logitech devices and Viewsonic Monitors.
"Rectron`s extensive range of products backed by the excellent service it offers differentiates us from other players in this market. I`m certain that this, together with our high level of our technical support, will combine to ensure that we will not only meet expectations, but go way beyond the challenges we have been set," concludes Hammer.
