Our group’s Product and Services Guide is a dynamic publication which requires regular updates as we grow and acquire businesses with new ranges of products and services that we offer to our customers. This year, we have focused on a complete review of the guide and have also included some user-friendly aspects such as key words associated with the company’s products and services for easier reference and search purposes.
The Altron Product and Services Guide is available on our website at www.altron.com and is continually updated to accommodate changes.
Our three principal operating groups, Altech, Powertech and Bytes, represent businesses and operations in the electrical manufacturing field, telecommunications, power electronics, multi-media and information technology sectors. Our group is South African-based, but we also have a significant international investment through many of our companies that are currently operating throughout Africa, Europe, the Middle East, Oceania and Asia as well as through a well established export programme.

Our management philosophy encourages our businesses to operate autonomously in an environment of market awareness with a strong emphasis on customer focus. We place our customer needs at the forefront resulting in significant emphasis on technological innovation both through internal investment and international partnerships; our total commitment to quality, best practice, and the improvement of productivity, manufacturing and distribution efficiency.
As a supplier our commitment to excellence and attention to detail remains our highest priority. We see it as the foundation to providing superior value through our many products and services.
