ALFA ELEKTOR - ABOUT US
Alfa Elektor was founded on the first of May 1986 by Mr Narciso Gomes, who remains at the helm of the business, assisted by Mrs Emilia Marques.
Guimaraes, a town near Braga and Porto, is where Alfa Elektor opened its first store, from where it relocates to Braga in the same year.
In 1992 Mr Gomes changed the incorporation format of the business from sole proprietor to a limited liability company.
In March 1999, Alfa Elektor returns to Guimaraes, into a relatively large store of 220 square meters.
It is in this era that Alfa Elektor reaffirms its values and strategies based on product quality, variety and service excellence. This, all based on one core believe… That the customer always comes first !
In 2001, Alfa Elektor moves into its newly acquired, large and modern premises, located in Braga’s entrepreneurial centre, as it is called.
2006 triggers a new expansion… The opening of the branch in Lisbon - the capital of Portugal.
Today Alfa Elektor finds itself as a mature company, having endured and survived the many economic challenges of the recent decade.
One of the challenges that remains, is the need for improved communications with customers in the cyber space. This became one of Alfa Elektors’ more recent and primary objective... To improve its website and e-commerce facilities.
In recent months, Alfa Elektor joined forces with the MOBICON group, where the group took a 51% share. This move is aimed at taking Alfa Elektor into a space, where its vision can be realised… That is, to become a leading and increasingly recognised distributor industrial and consumer electronics.
The MOBICON group, is listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange. With this new venture, the group aims to also continue with it’s diversification and growth.
