Rich Heritage
PFK Electronics has been a supplier of automotive electronics systems for over 30 years, established in Durban, South Africa in 1985. PFK made a name for itself as a leading player in both the local and global markets, with established offices in Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, the UK, Canada, the USA and Sweden. The company has supplied all of the major automotive OEM producers operating in South Africa – and a number of international ones – racking up numerous awards over the years.
PFK originally designed products for the South African Defence Force, which led to the creation of the Autowatch brand in 2009. Autowatch is the leading supplier of vehicle security, telematics and vehicle interlock solutions in South Africa, and has carved a firm foothold for itself in numerous locations around the world, including the USA, Australia and Europe.
In 2012, PFK was able to expand its capabilities into control instruments by acquiring Pi-Shurlok, and moved its production facilities into Pietermaritzburg as a result. This state-of-the-art production facility afforded the rebranded PFK Shurlok the ability to custom build unique solutions in high volumes, to a variety of clients and design specifications from around the world.
