About Energy Technologies
Energy Technologies Limited (ABN 38 002 679 469) seeks to develop business opportunities in niche sectors of the electric power industry either by the introduction and manufacturing of innovative new products with market dominance potential due to their unique nature or by the acquisition of established but tired manufacturing brands that offer market dominance potential via a sustained turnaround and the infusion of new ideas, people and capital. In both cases the company follows strict investment criteria and relies on the proven experience of its management and advisory team to determine which products or companies it should develop and how such development should take place. The Company has a 100% ownership of Bambach Wire and Cables Pty Ltd, a manufacturer of low voltage copper insulated cables, as well as a strategic holding in Dulhunty Poles Pty Ltd, a manufacturer of fiber reinforced cement distribution poles.
