Celebrating 40 years of ACDC Dynamics: The power of innovation and the launch of our 2025/26 catalogue
As ACDC Dynamics marks its 40th anniversary, we proudly reflect on our journey from a modest electrical distributor to a leading force in the industry, recognized for our commitment to quality and innovation.
Founded in 1984 as Trans Electron, and evolving over time into ACDC Dynamics Pty Ltd, we’ve grown and adapted alongside an ever-changing market.
Today, we’re thrilled to launch our latest ACDC Catalogue—an invaluable resource that embodies decades of expertise and our forward-looking vision for electrical solutions.
A Legacy of Milestones
Throughout our 40-year history, ACDC Dynamics has achieved numerous milestones that have solidified our reputation. Our journey began in 1984 as Trans Electron, and officially rebranding to ACDC Dynamics in 1995. By the late 1990s, our product range expanded to include industrial, commercial, and residential equipment, laying the foundation for today’s diverse offerings.
In 2000, we introduced the concept of retail stores, followed by the launch of ACDC Express franchise locations in 2007, bringing our solutions closer to customers across South Africa. Our e-commerce platform, launched in 2013, made access to our products even more convenient. Despite the challenges of COVID-19, we continued to innovate, advancing into sustainable energy solutions and installing a solar system in Antarctica in 2023, further underscoring our commitment to pioneering progress.
The 2025 ACDC Catalogue: A Testament to Quality and Innovation
After five years, we are proud to unveil our most comprehensive catalogue to date. This 2025/26 edition is not just a product list; it’s a robust industry resource, spanning over 1,100 pages, 27 categories, and 70,000 products, including 7,000 new items.
