Founded in 1982
Riken Electric began as a trusted supplier of high-quality motor control systems manufactured in Taiwan.
Over the years, we have earned a reputation as the tried and trusted brand in the electrical industry, known for our reliability, technical excellence, and commitment to quality. We work hard to uphold this association with every product we deliver and every customer we serve.
Today, Riken Electric provides a comprehensive range of low-voltage electrical products, serving customers throughout South Africa and across Southern Africa. Our technical solutions support industries such as mining, agriculture, renewable energy, and refrigeration. Alongside our innovative products, we take pride in delivering exceptional customer service, ensuring that every client’s needs are met with care and precision.
With our head office in Irene, Pretoria, and a network of branches nationwide, we are strategically positioned to offer fast, reliable service across the country. In early 2022, Riken Electric was acquired by Brendyn Meyer and his experienced team, bringing fresh leadership and a forward-thinking approach to the business. With decades of industry experience, they remain committed to preserving Riken’s legacy as a trusted brand, while driving continuous innovation and growth in the market.
