Fujitsu Siemens Computers in SA achieved revenue growth of 73% in euro terms in the year to March.
MD Mark Wilson says while the company may not disclose actual figures, profit before tax represented 2% of turnover.
Internationally, the group achieved an operating profit of 63 million euros for the year, a 33 million euro improvement over the previous year and 7 million euros ahead of forecasts.
Wilson says that the revenue growth in SA came against a backdrop of an overall decline in the IT market for the year.
"Growth was consistent throughout the retail, corporate reseller, Africa and distribution sectors. Our aim is to continue our growth strategy targeting increased market share through maintaining our focus on these sectors."
Wilson says the company is not "top of mind" in Africa but it is looking to change that.
Among other things, it has appointed IT4africa as a distribution partner. IT4africa has an extensive footprint across Africa and the Indian Ocean islands.
The distributor is to base its management, administrative and call centre in Johannesburg, with warehouses and facilities operating out of Johannesburg International Airport.
It also has bases in Botswana and Namibia and is to establish other bases in Zimbabwe and Zambia.
Wilson says Fujitsu Siemens` target is to outperform the market. While the first six months of the current financial year are expected to be flat and possibly negative, he is expecting 5% growth for the full year.
