We are excited to announce that dormakaba South Africa (Pty) Ltd will soon become a standalone company, operating under the new name of Access Hardware Holdings. This transition is pending final approval by the relevant authorities, which we expect to receive in the coming weeks.
For you, our valued customers and partners, there will be no change in our business relationship. We will continue to be your exclusive partner for high-quality dormakaba products and solutions, just as you have experienced before. Your existing contacts within the company will remain the same, and all current contracts and agreements will continue to be honoured.
This change comes as a result of a strategic review conducted as part of dormakaba’s transformation strategy, Shape4Growth (S4G). This strategy focuses on dormakaba’s core businesses, selected verticals, and key countries. Following this strategic review, dormakaba South Africa’s management – Wesley Botha and Craig Luck– decided to take up dormakaba’s offer to become a standalone business and exclusive vendor for its products and solutions in the Sub-Saharan African region. This change reflects our commitment to providing enhanced solutions and services in the Sub-Saharan African market while maintaining the same standards of excellence that you have come to expect from us.
While transitioning from a corporate entity to a standalone organization, we want to emphasize that this change is designed to enhance our agility and autonomy in navigating the dynamic African market more effectively. We are enthusiastic about the opportunities this transformation presents, allowing us to better align with the evolving needs of our customers and partners.
Key Highlights of the Transition:
- Business Continuity: We assure you that our commitment to delivering exceptional products and solutions remains unwavering. Access Hardware Holdings will continue to operate seamlessly, ensuring no disruptions to our services.
- Exclusive Supply of dormakaba Products and Solutions: Despite the rebranding, we retain exclusivity in supplying dormakaba products and solutions in the Sub-Saharan African market. This guarantees continuity in delivering the high-quality products and services you know and trust.
- Enhanced Operational Efficiency: As part of this transition, we are introducing operational enhancements to better serve you.
- Marketing Alignment: While we continue to be the exclusive distributor for dormakaba products and solutions in our market, our marketing activities will be adjusted to align with our local business objectives.
We are committed to ensuring a smooth transition and want to assure you that our core business model, objectives, and values remain unchanged. Your satisfaction and partnership are of utmost importance to us, and we are dedicated to delivering excellence in every interaction.
For any inquiries or further information, please feel free to reach out to our team. We will keep you updated as we move forward with this exciting transformation.
We appreciate your continued trust and look forward to serving you under our new identity, Access Hardware Holdings.
