Our Story

Two South African businessmen own Techmax, and their true value lie in the knowledge and experience accumulated over many years of doing business in China.

The intellectual property Techmax posesess makes them an invaluable ally when doing business in China.

Gerard Kaufmann, or Gerry to those who know him well, has been living in China since 1999 and is the founder of the business.

Lives cross paths, so when Gerard & Lodie Pretorius met towards the end of 2004, what started out as a business relationship, quickly grew into a solid friendship, then partnership, and the rest is history.

Our Famous Brands

Product knowledge within an industry builds-up over time and becomes a collective know-how and understanding of an industry.

Although Techmax has the means to source and supply any product, our wealth of knowledge and experience in certain industries have lead to the systematic development of certain product ranges and their associated brands we categorize them under.
