Westcon Group

Formally known as LAN Systems, since commencing operations in 1990, Westcon Group has gained recognition as one of Australia and New Zealand’s most reputable and reliable distributors of technology products and solutions.

Underpinning that recognition and the success it has brought Westcon Group is a business model based on aligning operations with the key business drivers of leading vendor and reseller partners.
