Nashua

Nashua is a South African office automation and information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, headquartered in Johannesburg. The company was founded in 1973 when it installed South Africa's first photocopier, and has since grown into a leading integrated business solutions provider in Southern Africa. Nashua is a subsidiary of the JSE-listed Reunert Group, a major South African industrial and technology company. Nashua's core business has evolved from traditional printing and document management to a comprehensive range of technology solutions. Today, the company positions itself as a 'Total Workspace Provider', offering printing solutions (multifunctional print devices, industrial digital printers), connectivity (fibre, wireless, cloud), workspace solutions (voice and telephony, interactive whiteboards, projectors, digitised document and cloud storage), surveillance and access control (CCTV, time attendance, automatic number plate recognition, fleet management), energy solutions (alternative energy to mitigate loadshedding), and hardware and software. With over 50 years of experience in Southern Africa, Nashua has built a strong reputation as a trusted, credible player in the office automation industry. The company operates through a network of branches and franchises across South Africa and neighbouring countries, serving both small businesses and large corporations. Its brand promise is 'Saving you time. Saving you money. Putting you first.' Nashua is also active in corporate social investment, supporting education, sports development (rugby and cricket), and community initiatives. Notable programmes include the Nashua Rugby Skills Project, the Nashua Schools Invitational 7s Festival, and partnerships with SA Rugby for the Currie Cup. The company also hosts an annual charity golf day. As part of the Reunert Group, Nashua benefits from the financial strength and resources of its parent, including in-house finance solutions through Quince Capital and MobiCred for small businesses and entrepreneurs. Nashua continues to adapt to the digital, hybrid, and mobile-enabled working world, helping businesses operate smartly from any location.

Nashua's history in South Africa dates back to 1973, when the company installed the country's first photocopier. This pioneering move marked the beginning of Nashua's long association with the office automation industry in Southern Africa. Over the following decades, Nashua established itself as a leading provider of printing and document management solutions, building a reputation for reliability and customer service. The company grew through a network of branches and franchises across South Africa, becoming a household name in the business equipment market. In the 1980s and 1990s, Nashua expanded its product range to include fax machines, multifunctional devices, and other office technologies, keeping pace with the rapid digitisation of the workplace. A significant development in Nashua's corporate history was its acquisition by the Reunert Group, a major South African industrial and technology conglomerate listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Under Reunert's ownership, Nashua became part of a larger portfolio of technology and electrical engineering businesses, gaining access to greater financial resources and synergies. In the 2000s and 2010s, Nashua continued to evolve, expanding beyond traditional printing into broader ICT solutions. The company added voice and telephony, connectivity, surveillance, energy solutions, and software to its portfolio, transforming itself from a print-centric business into a comprehensive technology solutions provider. This strategic shift was driven by changes in the workplace, including the rise of digital, hybrid, and mobile-enabled working environments. By the 2020s, Nashua had rebranded itself as a 'Total Workspace Provider', offering an integrated suite of solutions designed to help businesses operate smartly from any location. The company also emphasised its role in building a 'smart society' and continued its long-standing corporate social investment programmes, particularly in education and sports development. Throughout its history, Nashua has maintained a strong presence in Southern Africa, serving customers ranging from small businesses to large corporations. Its brand promise, 'Saving you time. Saving you money. Putting you first.', reflects its enduring focus on customer service and efficiency. Today, Nashua remains a subsidiary of the Reunert Group and a prominent player in the Southern African ICT and office automation markets.
