What sets us apart from other switchboard builders?

Quality Workmanship.

At emf Switchboards, we are electricians building switchboards with the electrician in mind. Safety, reliability and simplicity are the key features of all our designs. Our aim is minimise installation costs while providing safe and reliable switchboard solutions to match the needs of the site.

The past 25 years of building switchboards has allowed us to design and refine our own switchboard systems, so that you, the sparkie, get the best version of our systems in your switchboard. 

Why emf Switchboards?

Our focus is to maximize our customers' efficiency on-site through innovation and longevity of our switchboards, driven by exceptional customer service rather than our own profitability.

25 Years in the Industry

emf was founded in 1999 by two electricians, Allen Whitten and his brother Ben who were both passionate about providing the New Zealand industry with the highest quality switchboards and components.

On-site Experience

Our unofficial motto of “by sparkies, for sparkies”, is an important part of what emf is. Our design team has “been there, done that”, which is reflected in our switchboards. We like to make the installation and termination as straightforward, fast, and as effortless as possible.

Certified Quality Products

Emf is ISO accredited for quality assurance, health and safety and environmentally responsibility.

Every product supplied by emf is tested to relevant standards and we can provide SDOCs & testing certificates for your assurance.

Tried, Tested & Future Proof

As an electrician himself, Allen wanted to ensure that every product emf introduced to the Australasian market would stand up to our rigorous market expectations. emf carries out real life testing and ISO9001 quality control procedures to ensure that what goes out of our door will last.

Delivery Commitment

New Zealand is a long way from Europe and logistics are often difficult. emf is committed to combating this by ensuring we have large stock holdings of everything we sell. If you need something especially sourced from our network of contacts, we can organize air freight as required.

Emf is committed to NEVER providing generic lead times and strictly consolidated shipping.
