Global Switchboards Pty Ltd is a privately owned company located in Ormeau, Queensland. Our main focus of business is the design and manufacture of custom built switchboards for power distribution and motor control. Established since1998, the management and staff at Global Switchboards Pty Ltd have many years' experience on numerous major projects in Australia and the South Pacific.

The Elsteel system has been designed developed and tested in Europe and carries certification up to 100KA 7100 AMPS. Our switchboard designs are produced in Auto Cad, which allows for the production of concise engineering drawings and the ability and flexibility to meet our various customers continually changing needs. Although our main focus is associated with the commercial power distribution, we also have involvement with Generator Synchronising, Air Conditioning, Process Control and Automation for various industry groups and end users. We also have in place a Site Services Division, which is constantly on standby to provide service in the areas of break down repairs, rebuilds, maintenance and extensions to existing switchboards and control systems.
Ampere, established in 1947 by founder the late John Mense, has manufactured, supplied and developed quality products for the Australian electrical industry. The acquisition is in keeping with Omegas (Est.1982) key strategy of sourcing reliable, quality products from market leading manufacturers. It combines two great Australian owned businesses to better serve our loyal customer base and keeps Australian brands in Australian hands. Amperes MD, Robert Mense, It is important the Company remains Australian owned and Omega will, I am sure, continue to develop and grow our trusted brand and products into what will be an exciting future. However,the Mense family continues to be heavily involved in the Ampere organisation. In fact, Johns son Robert, who started in the business as an apprentice toolmaker has taken the company to new heights in his current role as Managing Director. Ampere recently moved to a modern warehouse in Port Melbourne which will give its customers even greater service. In this age of multi national mega corporations and increasing pressures on local manufacturers, it is pleasing to see an Australian owned company producing locally made products that are still widely regarded as the best on the market.
