Maxtec is evolving into QBS Software Africa
Change is rarely just about a new name or a new logo. For Maxtec, evolving into QBS Software Africa represents the next step in a journey that has been building for some time.
While this transition is an important milestone locally, it also connects us to a much broader story; one shaped by the steady growth and expansion of QBS Technology Group across international markets.

So, Who Is QBS Technology Group?
Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Alderley Edge in the UK, QBS Technology Group has grown into an established player in software distribution, licensing and channel enablement. At its core, the group works to connect software vendors with reseller partners and customers, helping technology reach the businesses that need it.
But what makes QBS distinctive is how it grows.
Rather than relying only on organic expansion, QBS has built its presence by bringing together strong regional businesses with deep local expertise, trusted relationships, and specialist knowledge. The idea isn’t to replace what works, but to strengthen it within a larger, connected ecosystem.
Growth With Purpose
Importantly, this strategy isn’t simply about becoming bigger.
The vision shared by QBS leadership focuses on building a unified global platform that makes it easier for vendors, partners and customers to work together, across borders and across markets.
That means:
- Expanding market reach while maintaining local expertise
- Strengthening vendor portfolios through shared relationships and resources
- Creating long-term, sustainable growth rather than short-term expansion

Where Maxtec Fits In
Against this backdrop, Maxtec’s evolution into QBS Software Africa makes sense.
Maxtec has always been built on strong relationships, trusted partnerships and deep local knowledge. By aligning more closely with QBS Technology Group, those strengths remain and are now supported by a wider international network.
For partners, vendors and staff, this means:
- Continued local engagement and support
- Access to a broader global ecosystem
- Increased opportunity for collaboration and growth
Maxtec becoming QBS Software Africa is part of something larger: a growth story shaped by partnership, connection and long-term vision.
