Clive Wilson Switchboards Ltd Invercargill's Industrial Switchboard Specialist

What started in a Princess Street garage in Invercargill in 1971 is now one of New Zealand’s most trusted heavy industrial switchboard manufacturers. Still family-owned, still Southland-built, 25 staff strong in our large heated Invercargill workshop, including team members with 30-year careers on the floor.

We design, manufacture, test, and finish low voltage switchboards, motor control centres, automation systems, powder coating, and laser engraving for New Zealand’s toughest industrial environments. Fonterra, Silver Fern Farms, Oceania Dairies, NZAS Tiwai Point, Hastings District Council, Antarctica NZ. Our boards and enclosures run 24/7 in dairy factories, aluminium smelters, wastewater plants, cold stores, and remote research stations.

Invercargill-built, delivered nationwide. Most of our work ships beyond Southland, from custom LV switchboards and MCCs to full automation panels, precision laser engraving, and durable powder-coated enclosures for infrastructure projects across New Zealand.
