Through our expertise, innovation, and commitment to quality, we strive to always deliver customer-centric outcomes. Powerbox is not just a supplier, we are your trusted ally partner in achieving your project and business goals.

Our Capabilities

With complete design and production facilities in our Australian Head Office, we have the capability to meet a wide range of needs. From small-scale projects to large-scale production quantities exceeding 50,000 units per year, our flexible production capacity ensures timely delivery. 

Our design facilities feature state-of-the-art labs, including a power conversion and inverter development laboratory with in-house EMC testing, adhering to strict design controls for verification and validation. In addition to our large range of distribution products, we have over 300 Powerbox designed solutions that are engineered and made here in Australia, specifically for the local conditions and compliance requirements.

Our focus is on providing conservative engineering approaches to match our customers’ technical, time and budgetary objectives. We thrive on designing and building high quality solutions for challenging projects, across Security & Industrial Automation, Telecommunications, Railway & Transport, Utilities, Defence, Mining Oil & Gas, to name a few.

Custom Design Solutions

In addition to power conversion, we also collaborate with industry-leading motion and drive partners to tailor DC & AC motors, gearboxes, controllers & encoders to your specific application, ensuring precision and performance that meet your operational demands.

If a suitable product isn't found in our standard range, we'll modify an existing power supply or dc-motor, or create a semi-custom or full-custom design based on your unique requirements. Design elements for power solutions may include customised mechanical packaging, mounting, connection, transient protection, parallel redundant configuration, or battery charge configuration.

At Powerbox Australia, we understand that off-the-shelf products don't always fit the specific requirements of a project or application. Sometimes, the only suitable approach is a custom-designed solution that incorporates the necessary electrical and mechanical features.

Our Custom Design Workflow

Our approach is a collaborative journey, where your vision and our expertise come together to create exceptional results. From the initial spark of an idea to the final stages of production, we are dedicated to ensuring that each step of the process is tailored to meet your specific requirements and exceed your expectations.
