RC&C is one of South Africa’s largest contract electronics manufacturers. During the year RC&C continued its efforts to diversify revenue streams away from manufacturing television sets, which historically accounted for most of the business’ income. The bulk of income in 2011 was derived from the manufacture of LCD monitors and Electrolux vacuum cleaners, as well as work for Reunert partners, CBI-electric: low voltage and Fuchs Electronics.

Digital television set-top boxes are expected to become a significant part of RC&C’s manufacturing portfolio. Indications are that the Department of Communications will award the first tender for these units in 2012. Through our partnership with Digital Vision Technologies (DiViTech), we are well placed to win a major share of the expected state order for five million units, as well as to service the anticipated public market potential of a further seven million units. Additionally, demand is anticipated to come from other African countries in future.
