Today, with the power of the modern desktop PC and the internet, your experience has expanded globally to include multimedia rich content and applications, 3D gaming etc.

Mecer Western Cape boasts a market share of over 200 000 Desktop Pc's in the region with more than 60 000 units in the field still covered by the Mecer Factory-backed carry-in warranty of two years. Our technical staff are trained to support all Mecer products in-house and all regional repairs are carried out locally in the Cape Town office.

With a constant year-on-year growth, the Mecer product has proven itself in the home consumer market and has elevated to over 80% of its unit sales into the corporate, government and parastatal sectors today. This has enabled Mecer to focus on supplying a quality product which is not only important in the business world but also allows for a hassle free computer experience both at work and at home.

Mecer Western Cape is a proud company in the knowledge that through the loyal support of the Cape Town greater community and businesses, we have become the leading supplier of Desktop Pc's in the Western Cape. This can be largely attributed to our dedicated staff compliment of just over 90 people. Majority of our staff have been with the company for over 5 years, and the original 4 founding members are still with the company since 1990.

We strive to empower our staff within the parameters of the company and thereby produce a world-class Desktop PC that competes with the international market leaders. In addition, we meet world standards such as EMI compliance, SABS certification, ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management certification and ISO14001:1996 Environmental Management certification throughout the organisation and in all aspects of the business.
