Comtest recently played host to two visitors from Fluke Europe, Jan Roetman, vice president for the industrial group and Bert Vellema, sales manager for export. They were in South Africa to discuss local business issues with Comtest, specifically looking at issues affecting business into Africa.

Roetman commented, “Comtest has experienced excellent growth with Fluke’s range of test and measurement equipment within the South African market over the past 18 months and it has become clear that there are opportunities to expand our partnership into the rest of Africa.”
He also complimented Comtest on its marketing activities, adding that this, combined with the high level of technical expertise and experience found amongst Comtest staff members, had resulted in Comtest doing more business for Fluke in South Africa than ever before. He said, “It is virtually impossible to tell a Comtest employee from a Fluke employee!”
Vellema continued the praise: “Comtest has shown considerable growth year-on-year and its well qualified and dedicated team has won several awards from Fluke for its success in the region.”
Commenting on Comtest’s new capabilities in calibration through its service partner, Repair Metrology Services (RMS), Roetman said, “RMS provides an invaluable and professional service. The ability to calibrate and repair Fluke equipment in South Africa is essential to Comtest’s success, as it is just not viable to do this from Europe.”
RMS recently upgraded its DC and AC capabilities to cater for new Fluke products and high-accuracy demand from the market. The newly acquired Fluke infrared source also makes it possible to calibrate and/or verify thermal imagers and extends the range of regular infrared thermometer calibration. RMS director Les Wesson says, “We are a primary SANAS accredited laboratory capable of supporting Fluke products in the South African region.”
