Locally manufactured with care, backed by 30 years in the industry.
Under the new ownership of Antony and Stefanie Dixon, the Excel Switchgear team is made up of long serving dedicated professionals, working out of a modern factory in Petone, Lower Hutt.
Proven processes that deliver what our customers want
Over the last 30+ years, we have established processes which ensure that we deliver what the customer wants, to specification and on time.
We invest time in the consultation and design so that the result meets the needs of the installation.


Small company means a more personalised service
Being a small business, we have the advantage of giving our customers personalised service from consultation to quotation, detailed design to final manufacture.
The Excel Switchgear Experience
Get in touchGet in touch with us via email or phone to discuss your requirements.
Provide us with your project specifications (high level or line drawing) and delivery time frame so we can supply you with a free quote.
For more complex projects, we may need to quote following a site visit.
We then design your switchboard and provide a CAD drawing board for your approval, prior to manufacture.
Once the board is complete we deliver to site, or you can pick up from our Petone workshop.
We can provide “as built drawings” on delivery, which can incorporate any modifications made on site when the board is installed.
Photographs of the boards are taken before leaving the factory and are stored for future reference or maintenance requirements.
Preferred supplier to many of our customers
Our database is full of customers who do business with us regularly. Some choose to only deal with us for their switchboard needs.


Strong relationships with suppliers = quality product at competitive prices
Need we say more! You get the advantage of our long standing relationships with suppliers and resulting purchasing power.
We know the best products for different situations and we are continually updating ourselves with new technology.
A broad range of products customised to suit your installation
We recognise that every installation is unique.
We have a range of cabinet options, including our own modular metalwork, which gives us the flexibility to design the most suitable board to accommodate the specifications of the project.
Certified to manufacture Schneider Prisma Plus systems
As a Prisma Partner, we have access to the Schneider Prisma type tested systems.
We offer Prisma G for low voltage distribution switchboards up to 630A and Prisma P Plus for sites up to 4000A. The modular design of Prisma Plus switchboards enables easy modification as required.
