In August, Comtest, together with Fluke, celebrated its top-performing channel partners – recognising excellence among its stakeholders. The annual gathering, held this year at Emperor’s Palace in Gauteng, delivered plenty of energy, excitement, and entertainment. Comtest also shared its latest product lineup with all present.
Comtest CEO, Barend Niemand, welcomed channel partners from around the country to the celebratory event.
Barend Niemand, Comtest Group CEO, said Comtest is embracing change and re-inventing itself to become a South African market leader. “Our mission is clear,” he said. “We’re all about service excellence – from customer support to warehousing, the accounts team, and of course our sales crew.”
He emphasised that teamwork and high ethical standards are the ingredients to achieving these goals. “When we work together and stay true to our values, everyone wins – customers, suppliers, employees, and shareholders.”
The results speak for themselves. Since 2022 Comtest has been surpassing records and projections for the 2025 year are set to again outpace South Africa’s GDP growth. Niemand gave a special shoutout to Brolin Moonsamy (Fluke South Africa) and Kristo Engelbrecht (Fluke Africa) for their ongoing support.
Looking ahead to 2026, Comtest plans to focus on business partners who share its vision – partners that see Comtest as a trusted ally and want to make a real impact in their own markets and grow together. These are the partners who go the extra mile for end-users, embracing Comtest’s ‘Go-to-Market’ model.
Guests also had a first view of Fluke’s latest technologies, including the Fluke 2052/2062 advanced wire tracers, the Fluke iSee Mobile Thermal Camera, the SB140 Sound Beacon for leak detection in non-pressurised vessels, particularly in the motor and aviation Industries, and the 729 PRO Pressure Calibrator – just a few highlights from a line-up loaded with innovation.
After presenting the Comtest awards to its top-performing channel partners across different regions and overall, Niemand also applauded ‘the A Team’ – Comtest’s sales team who have visited over 2 000 end users, run demos and training sessions, commissioned advanced diagnostic tools and hosted Technology Days for channel partners and customers.
