More than a hundred years ago, New Zealand Insulators began manufacturing
ceramic pipes in the south island town of Temuka. The introduction of electricity,
and the subsequent development of electrically-powered industry, encouraged
the company to diversify into the production of electrical insulators and fuses.


Over the years the market for electrical insulators has grown rapidly. As New
Zealand Insulators' product range has become increasingly more sophisticated,
the company has been careful to ensure that quality and service levels have
kept in step with customer requirements.


Today, New Zealand Insulators supplies several leading New Zealand electrical
wholesalers and retailers; a multitude of specialist electrical businesses - from
solo operators to national networks; and a number of overseas customers from
within Australia and the Pacific Rim.


The company employs more than 50 people in two divisions:

Low Voltage - a manufacturer and supplier of low voltage electrical equipment
                         in New Zealand

High Voltage - a major manufacturer of ceramic power distribution insulators and
                          other related products for the local and international markets
