The Altron Family
Innovation that matters. That was at the heart of Bill Venter's philosophy when the 33-year-old telecoms engineer founded Altron in 1965 with four colleagues. The company was a designer and manufacturer of semiconductor rectifier equipment, battery chargers, inverters, variable speed drives, DC motor controls, DC power supplies, electronic signal equipment and transformers. From there, Altron went on to become one of the leading ICT solutions providers on the continent. Despite the company's ups and downs, it has continued to have a meaningful impact on society by addressing challenges facing communities in South Africa.
