Beckhoff Automation recently invited key clients and industry partners to a function to celebrate the relaunch of its newly-enhanced offices in Randpark Ridge. In typical Beckhoff fashion it was a stylish and polished occasion with the attention to detail to which we have become accustomed.
Ably introduced by business development manager, Mike Banda, the festivities kicked off with details of the Beckhoff product offering and business strategy with particular emphasis on development, customer care and service.
Kenan Aktas, area sales manager, took guests down memory lane with a photo of the first Beckhoff building in 2006 and a mention of the then two Beckhoff employees.
Managing director, Kenneth McPherson, closed off with a more personal look at his now 14-strong team and the pride and emotion was clearly evident in his face as he recognised their commitment to the success of the business. He reinforced Beckhoff’s responsibility to its customers with its newly-refurbished service, support, training and technical offices and new, dedicated sales and marketing office, customer entertainment area, boardroom, and demo area. The Level 1 accredited service centre remains a unique highlight in this market in South Africa. Guests were invited to look at all these areas after the official cutting of the ribbon.
