About Highway Electrical
Electrical. Automation. Engineering.
One team bringing electrical work, machine controls and software together for industrial operations across New Zealand.
Practical engineering from East Tamaki
Our capabilities extend well beyond general electrical work. We specialise in the design, installation, upgrade and support of industrial electrical and automation systems, with particular experience in timber treatment, chemical production, machinery and process control environments.
From a straightforward electrical installation through to a complete machine or factory automation project, we can manage the entire process — from initial concept and electrical design through to panel construction, PLC programming, software development, commissioning and documentation.

From Concept to Commissioning
One of Highway Electrical's key strengths is our ability to bring electrical, automation and software engineering together under one roof.
We can take a project from an initial idea or operational problem through to a fully engineered solution. This includes understanding the process, developing the electrical and control architecture, producing CAD drawings, building control panels, programming PLC and HMI systems, developing custom software where required, installation, testing and commissioning.
We also work with existing machinery and control systems to improve reliability, safety, usability and performance. Whether it's modernising an older machine, replacing obsolete controls or developing a completely new automation solution, we focus on creating systems that are practical, maintainable and built for the real-world environment in which they operate.
Built Around Your Operation
We take the time to understand your process, site and equipment before defining the electrical and automation solution.
Attention to detail is at the heart of what we do.
Clear electrical drawings, carefully built panels and understandable operator interfaces make systems easier to operate and support.
At Highway Electrical, our goal is simple: deliver well-engineered electrical and automation solutions that work, are easy to support, and add long-term value to our clients' operations.
