October 2007 News

Rigol Technologies (Rigol) of Beijing in China has appointed Comtest as its sole distributor in southern Africa effective August 2007. Rigol is an emerging leader in the test and measurement field. The company’s current product line consists of digital oscilloscopes, function/arbitrary waveform generators, virtual instruments with LXI compatibility and more.

James Zhu, international regional manager for Rigol, who visited South Africa recently, is confident that Comtest is the right partner to develop the new brand in Africa. “Comtest has the right mix of technical expertise, service capability and experience to develop the market and, together with its large installed dealer base throughout South and southern Africa, to establish this brand as a serious contender in the test and measurement field.”
