The Questek Group was established in 1988 by Frans Kruger, Chris Pretorius, Trevor Strugnell and George van Gils.
Initially, the company imported a premier range of television broadcast and post production equipment as well as electronic revenue management systems for the passenger transport industry. The diverse skills and experience within this team allowed the group to diversify and to become leaders within a number of specialised markets. Questek is recognised as a progressive and innovative force in the markets in which it operates. Since 1988 the company has consistently identified opportunities for growth and innovation.
