Vutec (Pty) Ltd Appointed as the Exclusive Distributor for G&D and VuWall Solutions in South Africa

Guntermann & Drunck GmbH (G&D) and VuWall, both part of the Panoptec Technologies Group, have appointed Vutec (Pty) Ltd as the exclusive distributor for their KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) and video wall management solutions across South Africa.

The appointment gives customers, system integrators, and consultants in the region direct local access to G&D’s KVM-over-IP™ infrastructure and VuWall’s visualization platforms for control room applications in mining, utilities, transportation, public safety, industrial automation, and corporate security.

Vutec, led by Johan Pretorius, will serve as the local commercial and technical point of contact for customers and partners across the region: “We are excited to bring the combined strengths of G&D and VuWall to the South African market through a dedicated local presence. Our goal is to provide customers and partners with the technical expertise, support, and responsiveness needed to successfully deploy and operate world-class control room solutions,” says Johan Pretorius. The company will provide local commercial engagement, technical demonstrations, pre-sales support, partner enablement programmes, and project-level assistance—enabling end customers to transact in local currency, simplify logistics, and reduce import complexity.

“Expanding our presence in Southern Africa has been a clear strategic objective. Vutec brings the kind of deep operational technology expertise and local market knowledge that our customers in this region require,” says Eric Hénique, Chief Revenue Officer, G&D and VuWall. “We are confident this partnership will translate into stronger support and faster project delivery.”

“The Southern African market presents a significant opportunity across mining, utilities, and public safety — verticals where our visualization platform is well-proven. Having a dedicated, experienced local partner changes what we can deliver for integrators and end users in the region,” adds Mirko Aubel, EVP Sales EMEA, G&D and VuWall.

Existing reseller partners will retain the commercial terms, benefits, and partner status previously established with VuWall. The transition to a local distribution model through Vutec is intended to ensure continuity while enhancing local accessibility and support.

The appointment forms part of the ongoing international growth strategy of G&D and VuWall and reinforces their commitment to expanding support capabilities across South Africa.
