Computer Faire 2002, held from 21 to 24 May at Gallagher Estate in Midrand, marked a milestone in the history of business and consumer electronics company, Panasonic South Africa.

Selected as a forum for celebrating the company's 21st anniversary, the exhibition was the first event at which all the group's major digital product ranges were displayed with emphasis on Panasonic's 'Digital Networking' capabilities.

Group managing director Martin Maddox explained that the move reflected Panasonic South Africa's strategic move towards providing holistic solutions, underwritten by a devotion to understanding the current and future requirements of end-users. "Although our two major trading divisions Panasonic Systems Company and Panasonic Consumer Company are focused on the business and consumer markets respectively, we acknowledge that our clients live and work on both sides of the spectrum," says Maddox.

"We were therefore looking for a suitable platform from which we could reach both audiences. We believe that Computer Faire was the ideal platform for this purpose, as it catered for corporate and individual electronic applications."
