A brief history of Retravision.

In 1959, a group of forward thinking service agents formed the Retra TV Service Association of Victoria.

In 1961, this group of service agents, who had by now ventured into retailing, felt that it was time that they formalised their buying group. A meeting of all interested partners was called, and from this meeting, Retravision was born.

The name "RETRAVISION" came from the initials of the Radio Electrical TV Retailers Association, together with the word "Vision" that was added to give emphasis to Television, a product that was really taking off in 1961.

The original concept of the group was to give the independent retailer, the opportunity and means of buying and marketing together effectively, and competitively. All these years later, this is still the aim and purpose of the Group.

Retravision stores are all owner-operated, and it is the entrepreneur spirit of the owner-operator, backed up by professional management at State and National level, that is the secret of the success of Retravision.
