The Flash Group might be a young company, but behind it stands the 'soul' of a wise man, Harry Mirlas. Harry started his love affair with the Far East back in 1962, as an importer of consumer goods. He has since established companies in Sweden, Israel and South Africa. If you are in the lighting or electrical fields you will know of eurolux, one of the biggest importers of lights & light fittings in S.A., founded by Harry in 1991 & sold in 2002. With more than 40 years experience in importing & distribution, Harry’s knowledge in the field is unprecedented, and serves as a backbone to Flash, ensuring that Flash is always ahead & has excellent quality products at the lowest prices.

Flash Components CC is an importer and distributor of consumer goods such as batteries, flashlights, lighters and PVC tape, while its range is constantly expanding. We maintain excellent communication with our suppliers overseas, we speak on a daily basis and we visit their factories regularly to source new products and to ensure our model standards are being maintained. Flash is also the owner of the health conscious Just Sweet brand. We visit international exhibitions and shows to expand our range of products and keep informed with the latest trends and technology. We keep our customers updated with new products & specials.

Why FLASH? – High quality, low price!

COST EFFECTIVE

Take the following scenario for example: A German company manufactures batteries in China and sells them all over the world. You, the consumer, are paying not only for the product (China for manufacturing and Germany for brand name) but also for the agent bringing the product to SA - the middleman.
Flash is a South African Company and brand name, we manufacture in the Far East and sell directly to you. Cutting out the middleman makes our product about 30% cheaper than our competitors.

MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE

We, Flash Components own FLASH brand name. This means it is our responsibility to source out the best manufacturers. It means we set the perimeters for quality standards & prices. It means we control the product, unlike brand names that are owned by overseas companies and brought in by local agents (importers).
Our manufacturing companies have been carefully selected out of hundreds. They comply with international standards such as ISO 9001, 14001, 14002 & CE. We are in constant communication to ensure our quality standards are kept.
Furthermore, we cater for the South African market when we source a product. Considering the fact that approximately 90% of South Africans cannot afford to buy an alkaline battery, yet rely heavily on batteries as a source of electricity, we set out to find an affordable substitute – the Super Heavy Duty battery. This battery specifically suits the South African market, it is inexpensive while most importantly, is of superior quality. SABS performance comparison tests show FLASH super heavy duty battery to be better than the existing leading brands in South Africa (SABS test no. 7246/2401596/TY15B)
