34 | Need a critical, complex, integrated, electrical and automation system in your new facility and want a single source supplier, you’d expect to have to go offshore, but no. BREMCA’S engineering and automation team can provide the design, engineering, manufacturing, commissioning, and site service, plus extended warranties - substantially de-risked, at a cost competitive price point to meet the client’s budget. Established in Christchurch in 1972, BREMCA now employs more than 200 staff over ve ISO9001 certi ed manufacturing locations across New Zealand. The ve manufacturing facilities are strategically located in Invercargill, Dunedin, Christchurch, Hamilton, and Auckland. Over the past 50 years BREMCA has expanded capability from a company of three electricians to become New Zealand’s largest organisation of its type – and it’s still locally owned and operated. “As New Zealand’s largest provider and solutions integrator of switchboards, switchgear, and electrical automation, we provide a full-service solution – design, engineering, manufacturing, assistance with commissioning, and full service and support including extended warranties. We work with our clients and their teams to evolve the best possible solution and then deliver through established supply chain relationships,” according to BREMCA’s managing director, Andrew McLean. A unique advantage that BREMCA offers is that they stock a lot of the componentry they use in their manufacturing. A multimillion-dollar global supplier inventory is managed across all ve locations ensuring availability of componentry when required. However, a manufactured solution will be engineered according to the client’s speci cation and requirements. Best industry practice – Quality, Health and Safety, and Environmental Management BREMCA in 1992, were the rst New Zealand company in the industry to achieve ISO9001 Quality Management certi cation. They are now leading the industry again in working towards ISO 45001 for Health and Safety and 14001 Certi cation for Environmental Management – another national rst. In 2006 BREMCA attained status as an approved supplier to the United Nations. BREMCA was the rst New Zealand switchboard manufacturer to offer RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH compliance for their 250 Series and Axiom switchboard enclosure systems. Those same switchboard enclosure systems are now fully AS/NZS 61439 compliant with full seismic certi cation. Skilled and specialised staff The fully registered and licensed in-house team of electricians, engineers (many with mechatronics degrees) and building systems specialists self-perform most projects providing agility and exibility. This vertical integration also enables them to value engineer to save cost and ensure solutions are complete and seamless. The majority of the BREMCA senior management team have a background in the electrical sector. Many have a long history with the company spanning many years, accordingly the depth of experience and knowledge within the organisation is second to none. The company is committed to the growth and development of staff as they progress to become our industry leaders.
