TOOL AND PROFESSIONAL SERVICES cc
Tool & Professional Services (TOPS) commenced business during 1986 with the view to servicing the numerous customers who owned and used Rockwell woodworking and metalworking machines. These customers were left in the lurch by erstwhile importers dropping the line in favour of cheaper imports from the Far East. TOPS rapidly built up a substantial stockholding of spares, accessories and new machinery, as well as a reputation for excellence.
It soon became evident that there were numerous other hobby and DIY fields where customer needs were not being satisfied. TOPS’ activities were thus expanded over time, always bearing existing customers’ needs in mind. TOPS currently imports and wholesales quality tools, machinery, kits and accessories, mostly from Europe, the USA and China. Collectables such as diecast cars, Moto GP and road bikes as well as agricultural items are imported from Italy, Hong Kong and Spain. Sales are achieved via selected, country-wide retail agents who are in a position to render excellent service to their clients. Agents include hobby, art and craft shops, hardware stores and electronics dealers.
TOPS’ customers are called on by its own sales representatives, covering all the major areas in all the provinces. End-customer awareness is improved by means of exhibits at the major South African hobbyist and collector shows.
TOPS has the exclusive agencies for:

It is evident that TOPS’ products find wide applications in, especially, hobby shops. It is therefore not surprising that TOPS counts all major hobby and related stores among its customers. It is also TOPS’ policy to add new, unique lines to its product portfolio, complementing existing products and customers.
TOPS owns the office/showroom/warehouse complex it occupies. This complex is situated some 25 minutes west from the Johannesburg CBD and close to a number of main highways. Total available space is around 1 300m² with ample parking for staff and visitors.
