- IPD Group Limited is an ASX-listed Australian company specializing in the distribution and service of electrical infrastructure products and automation solutions. Founded over 70 years ago and headquartered in Australia, IPD serves the industrial, commercial, and infrastructure sectors with a comprehensive product range that includes power distribution equipment; industrial and motor control systems; automation and industrial communication technologies; power monitoring devices; electrical cables and cable plugs; and modular switchboard systems. The company also offers solutions in energy management, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, industrial cyber security, and test and measurement equipment. Its services division provides installation and commissioning, calibration and testing, maintenance and repairs, custom assembly, technical support, and regulatory compliance services. IPD operates nationally, catering to manufacturers, electrical wholesalers, contractors, power utilities, OEMs, and system integrators.
Recent major developments include the successful acquisition of EX Engineering in July 2023, which specializes in the design, supply, modification, and repair of hazardous area electrical equipment, and CMI Operations in January 2024, further expanding IPD’s product portfolio and supplier diversity. These acquisitions were supported by a $65 million capital raise and a $40 million debt facility, underscoring strategic growth through M&A to enhance market position and operational scale. The company also renewed a four-year partnership with ABB, becoming the master distributor for ABB’s low voltage motors in Australia, aligning with its commitment to innovative and compliant product offerings. IPD continues to invest in new infrastructure, including opening a state-of-the-art facility in Noble Park, Victoria, and advancing industry-leading solutions in power distribution, automation, and energy management to support sustainable electrical infrastructure development.
IPD's growth is reflected in its financial performance, with revenue increasing significantly due to organic growth and the integration of acquisitions. The company prioritizes quality and compliance, maintaining ISO 9001-2015 certification and emphasizing product reliability and safety. IPD's broad product and services offerings combined with recent strategic acquisitions place it as a key player in Australia's electrical and automation markets, serving diverse sectors such as manufacturing, resources, commercial buildings, infrastructure projects, and utilities.
