QBS Technology Group has acquired South Africa-based cyber security distributor Maxtec, as it continues to expand into international markets from its UK distribution base.
Maxtec, headquartered in Johannesburg, has a reach that covers the 16 countries in the South African Development Community (SADC) region, with additional operations in Kenya, Angola and Botswana. It has over 85 staff.
“Acquiring Maxtec is a significant milestone in our expansion strategy and together we will leverage our collective strengths to roll out the QBS platform across the region,” said Dave Stevinson, CEO of QBS Technology Group. “Maxtec has an exceptionally talented management team with an insane depth of pre-sales technical competency.”
“With QBS we have found a partner to facilitate further expansion into new territories and sustain growth in our existing regions. I look forward to showcasing our Maxtec talent on this global platform,” added Praven Pillay, managing director of Maxtec.
