LUFT INDUSTRIES
ACQUIRES TLT ACTOM
W
hen TLT Actom in Germany decided to restructure the
company in line with its TLT Turbo operation and get rid of
its HVAC fans division in December 2018, Luft Industries acquired
the local business, including all its staff.
So what does this mean for both TLT Actom and Luft
Industries? Luft Industries has built up a network of customers
in the Gauteng province over the years and this has proven to be
a huge success. The ex-TLT Actom sales staff, who now make up
the Gauteng branch of Luft Industries, are highly experienced
and will now continue to help grow the customer base. The
Gauteng branch of Luft Industries will also carry stock of all
product lines to facilitate same-day collections/deliveries by its
customers in Gauteng.
Although the offices and stores of the Luft Industries branch in
Gauteng are currently in the same location as the old TLT Actom
operation in Driehoek Germiston, there are no links to Actom (and
its branding) anymore.
The Luft Industries branch in Gauteng is primarily a sales office
with stores, while all manufacturing and distribution takes place
from the head office and factory in Durban, so only the sales and
stores staff were retained during this acquisition.
Nuno Pereira is now the branch manager of the Luft Industries
branch in Gauteng, Jan Jacobs and Dion van der Walt are external/
internal sales, and Zakhele Khwalo is responsible for stores and
branch administration.
Although FläktWoods products are no longer manufactured
locally, Luft have retained some of the stock of both finished
goods and components. The long-standing relationship between
Fläktwoods and the ex-employees of TLT Actom remains, and
should there be a need for imported Fläktwoods products, they
will be able to assist with this.
“Luft Industries Natal has boasted excellent service and
deliveries for the last four decades and still practises this today,”
says Anton Jansen of Luft Industries. Trucks leave every day
from Durban destined for Johannesburg and three times a week
to Cape Town. Other destinations are also on the daily delivery
schedules. “Luft Fans prices have always been very competitive
with a large product range to support this. We look forward
to meeting many new clients throughout South Africa,” he
concludes. RACA
