Our Story

Powered by People. Driven by Quality.

At ACIM, we’re more than sparkies — we’re business owners, problem solvers, and people who take pride in getting it right the first time. Since 2003, we’ve built a reputation across the South Island for delivering high-quality, safe, and future-ready electrical systems — from all manner of marine vessels to automation of production lines including OEM machinery builds.

Mission and Ambition

What We Build Lasts. Because We Own It.

At ACIM, we deliver clean, safe, and future-ready electrical solutions that our clients trust and our team takes pride in — every wire, every job, every time.

We back quality craftsmanship with integrity, invest in our people, and approach every project with the same care we’d expect in our own business.

Our vision is to grow ACIM into New Zealand’s most respected name in industrial and marine electrical services — recognised not just for what we do, but how we do it: with honesty, professionalism, and a team of business-minded electricians who take full ownership of their craft. We’re building a brand that lasts — with scalable branches, industry-leading talent, and a reputation that speaks for itself.

Quality first

We don’t cut corners — we wire clean, label clearly, and take pride in work that lasts. Every job, big or small, reflects our reputation — and we treat that like it’s on the line every time.

Safety always

We protect our people and yours. From PPE to panel checks, we follow the highest standards and train regularly to make sure everyone goes home safe, every day.

Integrity in every connection

We’re upfront, honest, and accountable — from quoting to completion. Our clients trust us because we say what we mean, do what we promise, and stand by our work.
