About Digital Distributors

Over Three Decades Supporting Print and Packaging

Digital Distributors was founded on 1 April 1988, initially focused on supporting the South African CAD market. From those early beginnings, the company steadily expanded its offering to include specialised production technology for the print, packaging, and graphics industries.

In 2026, we continue to build on that foundation with more than three decades of hands on industry experience.

We understand the technical and commercial pressures facing modern print businesses. Our role is to supply reliable proofing and production systems, supported by practical expertise that helps our clients maintain colour accuracy, production efficiency, and consistent output quality.

Experienced Industry Leadership

Digital Distributors was founded by Gill Tommasi and John Panton. Dilshaad Rajie joined as Director in 2018 after more than two decades within the business, bringing deep operational knowledge and long standing client relationships to the leadership team.

John Panton is a recognised G7 Expert and G7 Expert Trainer with over 30 years of experience across offset, gravure, flexographic, screen, and digital print environments. His extensive knowledge of colour workflows and ISO standards strengthens our consulting capability and technical guidance.
