About us
Our Legacy of Excellence
Welcome to Orient Collection Imports – a company shaped by a legacy of dedication, innovation, and integrity. Since 1987, our commitment to quality and forward-thinking solutions has driven our evolution from a modest automotive supplier into a dynamic, multi-industry importer and wholesale partner.
Our Journey Through the Years
1987 – Humble Beginnings
OCI began its journey in the automotive sector, laying the groundwork for a company driven by adaptability and resilience.
1995 – Expanding into New Frontiers
We added automotive condensers, followed by automotive compressors, establishing our footprint in key vehicle components and opening the door to new opportunities.
2004–2009 – Exploring the Quad Bike Market
Our product line temporarily diversified into quad bikes, reflecting our responsiveness to market demands and customer interests.
2006 – Strategic Partnership with DHC (Taiwan)
A major milestone was achieved when we partnered with DHC, a globally respected manufacturer of battery testers, chargers, and accessories. This exclusive collaboration positioned OCI as the sole distributor of DHC products in South Africa & African Regions, reinforcing our reputation for reliability, service, and technical excellence.
2008–2017 – Solar Power Industry Expansion
Recognizing the shift toward renewable energy, we entered the solar power industry. Starting with DC-AC inverters, we expanded our portfolio to include solar panels and full inverter systems by 2017 — supporting the growing demand for sustainable power solutions.
Today, we proudly stand as a wholesale supplier of:
-
Automotive condensers & compressors
-
Exclusive DHC battery equipment
-
Solar power products for residential & commercial use
Our mission remains the same: to be more than a supplier — to be a trusted, long-term partner committed to your success.

We understand that every business operates in a landscape of shifting technologies, challenges, and possibilities. At OCI, we anticipate these changes to ensure we stay ahead of the curve, offering our clients solutions that are not only relevant but future-ready. Our clients' needs guide everything we do — from the products we source to the partnerships we build.
Driven by Quality
Quality is not just a benchmark — it's a mindset. Every product and service we offer reflects our unwavering commitment to performance, safety, and innovation. We continually invest in improvements, technologies, and partnerships that enhance what we deliver and how we deliver it.
Built on Integrity
We believe that trust is earned through consistent, ethical conduct. Our operations are grounded in honesty, fairness, and transparency — values that have sustained our business for nearly four decades and built lasting relationships with clients and partners alike.
