Built on relationships, direct engagement, and technical follow-through
Founded in 2014, Direct Office Technologies is the flagship Olivetti dealer for sub-Saharan Africa, with its own technical academy and finance house.
Our History
Direct Office Technologies was founded in 2014 by Njabulo Twala and Dario Bombardieri, combining decades of experience in office automation with a straightforward idea: deal directly with clients, and stand behind the equipment after the sale.
Direct is the flagship dealer for Olivetti across sub-Saharan Africa, and an accredited partner for Epson and HP in the public sector market. Our Technical Training Academy in Durban keeps our engineers current on every brand we carry, and our in-house finance company, O Finance, means rental agreements are arranged and serviced by the same people who install the machine.
