What Sets Us Apart
Switchboard and Automation Under One Roof

Most industrial automation projects involve two separate companies. One builds the switchboard, another does the PLC programming and SCADA work. When something goes wrong, each one points at the other. At Clive Wilson Switchboards, we do both. Our automation division exists because we saw this problem too many times. When the same team designs the switchboard, manufactures it in-house, writes the PLC program and commissions the system on-site, everything works together. There are no communication gaps, no mismatched specifications and no finger-pointing. This is what sets us apart from other automation companies in Invercargill and Southland. You deal with one team from start to finish. One phone number to call. One company that takes full responsibility for your project. For our clients across Invercargill, Gore, Winton and the wider Southland region, this means faster project delivery, fewer issues during commissioning and a single point of contact for ongoing support.
