"Gemeinsam sind wir stark" - auf dieses Motto setzten fünf große Telekomhändler aus Österreich (darunter Ing. Franz Reitler / Geschäftsführer TFK bis 2018), als sie 1991 die TFK Handels GmbH gründeten, um sich gemeinsam den steigenden Anforderungen des Marktes zu stellen.

Als Vollsortimenter rund um die Telekommunikations- und Funktechnik wendet sich die TFK Austria mit Sitz in Henndorf am Wallersee ausschließlich an den Fachhandel. Eine optimale Händlerbetreuung, permanente Information- und Schulungsangebote sowie Workshops haben entscheidend dazu beigetragen, dass TFK heute die Nummer eins im österreichischen Telekommunikationsfachhandel ist.

TFK versteht sich auch als Interessensvertretung für die Telekommunikationsbranche.

Zur Sicherung der Lieferfähigkeit verfügt die TFK an Ihrem Standort in Henndorf a. Wallersee über ein großräumiges Lager, in dem ein Großteil der derzeit etwa 7.500 Artikel des Sortiments geführt werden. Das Spektrum reicht dabei von Handys, Smartphones und Tablets sowie deren komplette Zubehörpalette über TK-Anlagen, Funktechnik, Smart Home und M2M Lösungen bis zu Speichermedien, Navigation sowie Braunware + Multimedia.

Als exklusiver A1 Telekom Distributor bieten die TFK zudem Top-Support für unsere A1 Anmeldepartner: Hotline, POS Betreuung, Anmeldeservice + Provisionsabwicklung.

Nur technisch ausgereifte Produkte namhafter Hersteller (siehe unsere Hersteller von A-Z) werden österreichweit an ca. 1.600 POS ausgeliefert. Großen Wert legt der Distributor auch darauf, Innovationen so rasch als möglich dem Fachhandel anzubieten.

Dass das Unternehmenskonzept aufgeht, zeigen kontinuierlich steigende Umsatzzahlen. TFK beschäftigt ca. 40 Mitarbeiter/-innen, davon 6 im Außendienst.
