Able

The current owners started a computer hardware business in Papua New Guinea in July 1993 known as Computer Spot Pty Ltd with $500 and a promise of a bank loan. They grew the business into a few small computer hardware stores and in 1996 purchased Able Computing (PNG). Able Computing remained focused on software development. In 2000 Able Computing and Computer Spot merged and commenced selling hardware and software solutions under that Able Computing name while continuing to develop software solutions. In 2013 Able Computing opened its first branch in Fiji. As times have changed the focus of the business has seen the core move into mobile devices, white goods, brown goods, electronics and appliances. As of September 2017 Able will operate a total of 23 stores and employs 350 plus staff across 3 countries. Few computers companies have been around as long as Able Computing. During the past 35 years Able has seen computers go from expensive and underpowered devices to hand held devices with 1000 times the computing power and a million times the storage in one low cost notebook. We have had to navigate change for as long as we can remember albeit the rate of change has become more pronounced of late. While many companies that have started only in the last few years have grown well beyond the size of Able far more have fallen by the way side . Able owes its survival to the thousand to the hard work of the many hundreds of workers that have give their all for the company. The internet has brought many changes to society and has made technology essential to our lives, it has threatened many of the traditional jobs, but has created many opportunities as well. None of us truly knows what the future holds for us but what ever it is we are in for a hell of ride. We hope that Able computing or Able home and office as it is better known today will continue for many years to come. Recently Viewed Products
