Guntermann & Drunck and VuWall, both part of the Panoptec Technologies Group, have appointed Vutec as the exclusive distributor for their KVM and videowall management products across South Africa.
The appointment gives customers, system integrators, and consultants in the region direct local access to G&D's KVM-over-IP infrastructure and VuWall's visualisation platforms for control room applications in mining, utilities, transportation, public safety, industrial automation, and corporate security.
Vutec, led by Johan Pretorius, will serve as the local commercial and technical point of contact for customers and partners across the region: "We are excited to bring the combined strengths of G&D and VuWall to the South African market through a dedicated local presence."
The company will provide local commercial engagement, technical demonstrations, pre-sales support, partner enablement programmes, and project-level assistance, enabling end customers to transact in local currency, simplify logistics, and reduce import complexity.
"The Southern African market presents a significant opportunity across mining, utilities, and public safety — verticals where our visualization platform is well-proven. Having a dedicated, experienced local partner changes what we can deliver for integrators and end users in the region," adds Mirko Aubel, EVP sales EMEA, G&D and VuWall.
Existing reseller partners will retain the commercial terms, benefits, and partner status previously established with VuWall. The transition to a local distribution model through Vutec is intended to ensure continuity while enhancing local accessibility and support.
