Success overseas

Jan van Wyk, owner of TCB (Edms) Bpk in the southern Cape, is marketing an electronic system to control and regulate power usage in residences and business, that can cut up to 20% off their electricity bills. After installing the Synapses system, all readings and monitoring can be done from a central point by remote control, bringing further savings. Yet, he hasn't found success in South Africa, even with the current energy crisis, but rather in Oman where he recently signed a contract with the Mazoon Electrical Company. Jan is now moving to Oman to deal with the growing interest in his system from Qatar, Kuwait, the UAR and other cities in Oman. The Synapses system was developed by Romulus Electronic Systems, owned by Rassie Erasmus of Pretoria. Jan bought the rights to market and distribute the system in the Middle East and Europe.
