The company is driven by a strong culture of innovation, which translates into a finished product through its extensive research, development and world class production standards and capabilities. To this end, PFK has the ability to build even the most specialised electronic products from print to design.

Quality is a core value that defines PFK, and all products are manufactured to the same stringent international standards, ensuring a level of reliability and design excellence. PFK’s goal is to not only be best-in-class in its existing product markets, but to translate its expertise in emerging and exciting new technologies.

All of PFK’s tailored solutions are produced in house under two brands, namely Autowatch and PFK Shurlok. Autowatch offers services linked to alarms, vehicle security systems, telematics solutions, stolen vehicle recovery, vehicle tracking and alcohol ignition Breathaloks. PFK Shurlok supplies a variety of body control modules and many other custom-built parts and plastics to Original Equipment Manufacturers.

History

PFK Electronics has been a supplier of automotive electronics systems for over 30 years, established in Durban, South Africa in 1985. PFK made a name for itself as a leading player in both the local and global markets, with established offices in Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, the UK, Canada, the USA and Sweden. The company has supplied all of the major automotive OEM producers operating in South Africa – and a number of international ones – racking up numerous awards over the years.

PFK originally designed products for the South African Defence Force, which led to the creation of the Autowatch brand in 2009. Autowatch is the leading supplier of vehicle security, telematics and vehicle interlock solutions in South Africa, and has carved a firm foothold for itself in numerous locations around the world, including the USA, Australia and Europe.

In 2012, PFK was able to expand its capabilities into control instruments by acquiring Pi-Shurlok, and moved its production facilities into Pietermaritzburg as a result. This state-of-the-art production facility afforded the rebranded PFK Shurlok the ability to custom build unique solutions in high volumes, to a variety of clients and design specifications from around the world.
