A specialist transformer manufacturer building current and voltage transformers, metering units and time switches, with a New Zealand business under its own brand beside the Australian one.
What Happened Next
Both brands trade under their own names with separate sites, the backer lists them as one investment with two addresses, and the vehicle's own site calls the July 2024 purchase its first venture with him as chief executive of both.
