Industrial Electrical Services

Powering Industries South Island Wide

At ACIM, we deliver full-spectrum industrial electrical services across Canterbury and the South Island — supporting clients from concept through to ongoing maintenance. Whether you’re scaling production, installing new machinery, or upgrading plant-wide systems, our team brings the know-how to deliver reliable, high-performing results.

Our Specialisations​

We manage every phase of an industrial electrical project, with deep expertise in automation, control systems, and electrical infrastructure.

Design & Estimation
From power distribution layouts, load analyses, and switchboard schematics to control system architecture — we produce designs that balance performance, safety, and cost effectiveness.
Installations & Commissioning

Whether installing a single line of machinery or wiring entire production plants, we handle the full installation process — including commissioning, testing, and fine-tuning.

Controls & Automation Integration

We specialise in automation using systems such as Rockwell, Beijer, Omron, SICK, and Pilz. Our software engineers program PLCs, HMIs, and SCADA to bring machines and processes to life.

24/7 Service & Support

Downtime can cost you. That’s why we offer round-the-clock breakdown response, troubleshooting, and fast repair work to get you back in operation as soon as possible.

Ongoing Maintenance & Upgrades
From scheduled preventative maintenance to system upgrades or retrofits, we keep your operations running smoothly now and into the future.
Specialist Services
Machine safety specialists, hazardous areas.

Why Choose ACIM for Industrial Electrical?

We don’t just do wiring — we partner with industry to deliver electrical solutions that deliver value, performance, and reliability.

Proven Local Expertise
Operating primarily in Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region, we understand local regulations, supply chains, and the industrial demands of our area.

Many firms only specialise in a subset (automation, or installations). We bring all parts together — control, power, software, and maintenance.

With strong experience in Rockwell platforms and other leading brands, we can support both greenfield automation and upgrades of legacy systems. (Rockwell is globally recognised in industrial automation as a key platform.
We know industrial operations don’t sleep. Our standby and rapid-response structure ensures you aren’t left waiting.
Safety always comes first. We use rigorous protocols, testing, documentation, and open communication — no hidden costs or surprises.
We serve clients across food production, engineering, building materials, wood processing, wool scouring, cardboard manufacturing, foundries and more. (You can list “industries served” out in a sidebar or bullet list.)

Typical Project Types & Examples

Here are projects we regularly undertake (or have done in the past):

  • Installing and integrating a new automated production line
  • Upgrading legacy PLC / control systems to modern platforms
  • Full plant wiring for new industrial builds
  • Breakdown repairs and emergency fault-finding
  • Retrofitting safety / machine-guard systems with control integration
  • Preventative maintenance contracts to reduce downtime
  • Industrial laundry or kitchen system electrical work (where overlapping)
