January 2015 News & Events

Cathexis Technologies has unveiled the winners of its annual Cathexis Partner Awards. The awards recognise some of Cathexis Technologies’ key partners in the African region.

According to Gus Brecher, MD of Cathexis Africa, the company focuses on building strategic partnerships with its distributor and installer market. “We strive to supply solutions to benefit the end-user’s organisation, and increase their return on investment,” says Brecher. “It’s always been our objective to supply not just products – but integrated solutions. That’s why we select our partners carefully, and align ourselves with partner companies that share this business ethos,” he added. “We wish to thank all our partners for their ongoing loyalty and exceptional support.”
