Afcon Trumps 2017
2017 is definately going to be an interesting year. With all the changes in the USA along with Britain moving quickly with Brexit I strongly believe this is a great opportunity for South Africa to prove its place in the Global Market place. We have every chance to grow this country's economy - we just need the Goverment to end corruption and stop wasting money. We at Afcon can reassure you that our priorities are service delivery and building long term relationships with our customers.

Buon Giorno
Afcon were very proud to recently attend the Bitzer Distributor’s conference held in Venice on the 21st & 22nd October. Bitzer invited representatives from Europe, Middle East and Africa to this prestigious conference and over 150 delegates attended. Afcon got a chance to network with other distributors and meet many of Bitzer’s German and Italian staff. The conference agenda covered insights into Bitzer’s future plans and products and also was an acknowledgement from Bitzer of the importance of their Distributor Network.

So here's to a European smorgasboard of products.
I attended the Frigair 2015 Show in Johannesburg a little over 2 weeks ago now and was impressed by the strength and diversity offered by the HVAC&R industry in South Africa. Well done to all at Interact Media for putting on a world class show. There were many new and interesting products available, I enjoyed meeting up with our suppliers and re-affirming our position as KZN distributors of their products.

Afcon Heats Up
Once again Afcon is celebrating long service of staff members. Jane Bophela joined us in May 2005 and is now our Warehouse Assistant. Jane is a loyal member of staff who is always ready with a smile and a laugh. Thank you Jane for your loyalty.
One of Afcon’s specialities is thermal storage, and no-one offers more technical experience than Dave Nichols. While working on a project lately he mused on the properties of ice and it is worth noting - the amount of energy that needs to be transferred to 1kg of ice in order to melt it is much higher than the energy needed to change the temperature of 1kg of water.

AFCON SUPERHEATED!
It has been a busy year at Afcon. Winter has come and gone with hardly a pause in the pace of business.
We are really pleased to have seen a large increase in our HYSAVE liquid amplifier pump sales – which proves that the benefits they offer through huge energy savings are really worth investigating. We have recently used Bitzer’s Greenpoint facility to overhaul three Open Drive Screw compressors for a marine application. It’s really comforting to know that Bitzer backs its compressors with both original spares and an in-house Germany approved repair facility in Joburg.
