Westcon-Comstor Southern Africa has been named Value Added Distributor of the Year at the Intelligent ICT Awards Africa 2025, held in Johannesburg on May 8.
In a market where distribution often means moving boxes, Westcon-Comstor is changing what it means to be a value-added distributor. Through deep partner enablement, innovation-led services, and an unwavering focus on digital transformation, the company continues to lead from the front.
“This award is a testament to everything we’ve worked to build with and for our partners,” said Louise Taute, Managing Director at Westcon-Comstor Southern Africa. “Being acknowledged as a true Value Added Distributor, rather than simply a logistics provider, is exactly the shift we’ve been driving.”
From their PartnerCentral marketplace to TechXperts training, 3D Labs, and Marketing-as-a-Service, Westcon-Comstor has built a partner ecosystem that empowers resellers to scale and transform. Whether it’s helping partners move into the cloud, grow cybersecurity portfolios, or transition to as-a-service models, the distributor is positioned to support the full technology lifecycle—technically, commercially, and operationally.
“We’ve invested in creating the tools and capabilities our partners need to thrive,” added Taute. “This award validates those efforts and the results we’re seeing in the market.”
Beyond technology, the company is also driving positive change through its Westcon Cares programme, energy-efficient operations, and a focus on inclusive growth and SME empowerment.
