Christensen Tools - Natal, Durban

Christensen Tools, was born in 1965, 43 years ago, and was the brain child and passion of the late Mr. John Christensen. In the mid 1960's, electronics was just starting to take shape in South Africa. There was little known about electronics, let alone tool suppliers. It was at this time that Mr. Christensen visited overseas trade shows and obtained agencies for some of the products still sold today.In those days, Christensen was run out of a garage in Greenside, and was ostensibly a one man company. 43 years later, and with 3 generations of Christensen's being involved, the business has thrived into a national operation, with offices in Johannesburg, Durban & Cape Town. Steve Christensen has spear-headed the company to the heights we see today, with great paitence and passion, and always led from the front. Times might have changed but the core business which started the business, still is present today - Specialist Electonic handtools, test equipment, toolkits and a myriad of other products directly relating to the production, maintenance and repair of electronic goods, from the old style CRT tv's to the highly spec'd cellphone towers.This family business still has Christensen's involved in the day to day running of the business, which has enabled us to keep focus on our core business.In todays ever-changing and volatile electronics environment, where we have seen IT stock soar and crash in a heartbeat, Christensen Tools has remained the market leader. Christensen Tools has kept both feet firmly placed on the ground. We have done this through servicing the fast paced, changing needs of our valuable and extensive client base. It is in being flexible to these changes that we have met industry challenges favourably.
