Over three decades, Ellies has become a leading southern African manufacturer, wholesaler and distributor of electronic products related to television reception, including satellite and terrestrial aerial ranges. The group is also a market leader in domestic electrical and industrial audio products, and a major importer of associated products.

Between inception in 1979 and the early 1990s, Ellies focused largely on TV aerials, accessories and spare components, and then broadened its range to include remote controls and other related accessories, expanding its customer base in the process.

In 1995, with the advent of satellite TV in the South African market, the group founded the ElSat business. ElSat pioneered the pre-paid installation voucher system, which has become the national industry benchmark – a seamless process from point of sale to installation in a consumer's home, facilitated by the Ellies call centres.

While the product range has broadened exponentially over the years, the focus remains unchanged: providing a single, convenient and efficient source of supply for its customers – from leading retailers to independent outlets and installers.

Ellies has trading divisions in all major centres throughout South Africa as well as Windhoek, Gaborone and Maputo.

'Ellies' and 'ElSat' have become household brands and the group continues to expand its product range which now includes audio, telephone and electrical accessories. At present, over half the revenue is derived from the manufacture, import and distribution of TV and video equipment-related products under the 'Ellies' brand. The balance is generated from manufacture, import and distribution of satellite and associated equipment under the 'Elsat' brand.

Ellies listed on the Alternative Exchange of the JSE Limited on 5 September 2007. As the dominant distributor of TV aerials and installation equipment to the retail, furniture, hardware and independent market, Ellies is ideally situated to capitalise on ever-increasing demand for these products in South Africa and to introduce new offerings to its extensive and diversified customer base.

Ellies has over 10 000 individual products in its range, from terrestrial antennae and satellite equipment to television, audio, domestic electrical and telephone accessories. In addition, Ellies distributes and rents premium-quality electrical and electrical equipment under the 'Ellies' brand, and satellite and associated equipment under the 'ElSat' brand.

The Ellies range has recently been expanded to include power-generation products such as generators and power inverters. The acquisition of Megatron Federal in 2008 adds power management and electrical switchgear and mini-substation manufacture and supply – this is expected to become a key component of the group especially as exports to Africa soar.

Ellies follows a policy of controlling products from manufacture, in most instances, to on-the-shelf delivery. By controlling the packaging, marketing, sales and distribution of both its own manufactured and imported products, Ellies meets its promise of timely, professional service to suppliers and consistent, affordable quality for consumers.
