The Pioneer Years
Our journey started as The Electronic Man (Pty) Ltd, providing service and innovative electronic solutions, repairs, and maintenance to a wide range of industries.
Throughout the 1980s, we continued to grow, acquiring specialized agencies and providing quality control systems to the Food, Textile and Pharmaceutical industries. Recognizing the need to adapt to an evolving market, we rebranded to Automation Techniques in 1990, marking the start of an exciting new chapter.
This transformation cemented our position as a trusted partner in sales, distribution, and support, while strengthening our automation, repair, and servicing capabilities.
Growth and Rebranding
The need for rebranding became evident as the company evolved, staying true to our core business model.
Establishment of Automation Techniques in 1990
This milestone marked the beginning of a new era focused on:
- Sales
- Distribution
- Support
All of this complemented our well-established automation, repair, and servicing division.
The Techniques Group is a well-established and recognised supplier of quality equipment & machinery, offering proven solutions to the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, personal care, textile and allied industries.
