Tektronix and Keithley, global suppliers of test equipment for engineers focused on electronic design, manufacturing and advanced technology development, have appointed Comtest as their authorised distributor in South Africa and selected countries in southern Africa.

With headquarters in Oregon, USA, Tektronix and Keithley have, for the past 65 years, provided solutions for test, measurement and monitoring problems. Commenting on the appointment, Tektronix’ director of UK, Middle East and Africa sales, John Winderam, said “The appointment of Comtest as the Tektronix and Keithley authorised distributor for southern Africa represents a positive step in the evolution of our business. Comtest has a track record of delivering complex test and measurement solutions, and high-level customer satisfaction in all areas of the market in which it operates. This will be of major benefit to Tektronix and Keithley customers going forward.”
