The change in ownership creates many opportunities for Vepac and its employees and with the assistance of the Electrocomp Group, it intends to aggressively grow existing business while expanding into new markets.
Electrocomp is committed to supporting Vepac's growth initiatives, increase the scope of current product portfolio and ensure that complementary products are successfully introduced in line with expansion plans. The company is determined to continue to work closely with its valued customers and suppliers to provide leading edge products, systems and support.

Vepac has grown to be a leading supplier of international components and systems to the South African electronics, electrical and communications industries.
In June 1998 Vepac Electronics acquired Electrowatt, a company supplying the South African market with a range of SMT production equipment and consumables.
Electrocomp is a dynamic technology-driven South African group of distribution companies focusing its activities on semiconductor and IPE product sales and support, with strong engineering value-add capabilities to over 1500 customers. The group has offices countrywide.
