Synchron's Beginnings
The company was founded over 30 years ago in Cape Town, South Africa and has grown to be one of the largest importers of a comprehensive range of digital, screen and signage products.
Operating from premises in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and Port Elizabeth with a staff of experienced and knowledgeable consultants representing a number of the world's leading manufacturers, Synchron is in the unique position of being able to offer the most comprehensive range of materials. Competitively priced and backed by full manufacturers' guarantees with access to a sophisticated, consulting laboratory facility, customers have come to rely on Synchron as a value-added partner in their businesses rather than just a product or material supplier.
