Pertec employs more than 80 people operating from Cape Town, Durban, Johannesburg, St. Helena Bay and Mossel Bay, also having a network of service agents operating from various maritime locations. Traditionally Pertec operates and gained its merits in the fishing industry and new building market, whereas RH South Africa started in South Africa in 1983 is more focused on retrofit, service, sales in the deepsea and offshore sector. RH South Africa employs 27 people of which predominately in sales and service.  This year, the aim is to integrate the organisations of Radio Holland and Pertec, leading to benefits for customers by combining expertise, quality brands and capacity.

The acquisition of Pertec made Radio Holland the leading maritime service specialist in South Africa, with a network based in all the major ports that covers the entire country and providing an excellent basis for further growth. Combined, Pertec and Radio Holland share knowledge, menpower and resources and can provide even better support, a more extensive range of brands and tailormade solutions, more service capacity and of course a worldwide organisation along the shipping routes.
