The fledgling business began to gather momentum once local architects and an electrical wholesaler started to get behind its products, promoting them to electricians and keeping an inventory. In 2013 Switch Lighting won the Nelson Tasman Chamber of Commerce Business Awards Wakatu Innovation Award and made its first appearance in the 2015 Deloitte Fast 50 Awards as the New Zealand’s 27th fastest growing company. It was further recognised regionally in the Fast 50 from 2015 to 2017, in addition to national winning trade awards from 2017 to 2021. The company has been focused on the domestic market, but late this year completed its third cruise contract, to supply 14,000 LED light units to a mega cruise ship. Gerard attributes much of the company’s success to a focus on uncompromising quality combined with innovative research and development, plus a strong ethos of supporting the community through keeping manufacturing and assembly either local or in New Zealand. “We are known in the New Zealand market as the leader in LED technology.” Topliss Bros Precision Engineers are proud to manufacture components for Switch Lighting’s high quality products. www.topliss.co.nz CNC Machining • CAD Design • Prototyping Milling • Turning • Grinding Ideation into Action Action Plastics provides exceptional manufacturing and product solutions for our clients. 03 382 0422 www.actionplastics.co.nz Proud to be a loyal supplier to Switch Lighting
