FROM A TRADITION OF INNOVATION

Vynco Industries began in 1990 with the purchase by John Vale of the New Zealand assets of well-known Australian electrical manufacturer Oliver J Nilsen.

The operation began distributing industrial electrical enclosures and distribution components (e.g. circuit breakers) to Electrical Wholesalers around New Zealand. A small range of domestic switchboards were also designed and manufactured in Christchurch around this time; which was the start of Vynco manufacturing.

The Vale family, however, can trace its involvement to the beginnings of electrical manufacture in New Zealand. John's uncle, Harry Vale, started the original PDL Company in 1938, where John started his working life arter leaving Christchurch Boys High School. He then went on to become joint Managing Director of PDL under the late Sir Robertson Stewart.

Over the past 18 years Vynco has grown into one of the leading distributors in New Zealand and is nationally one of the only companies designing, engineering and manufacturing electrical products.

As it has grown Vynco has attracted strong international partners, none more so than General Electric, who dominate their portfolio. Other brands such as Mennekes, ETA, Dong Sin, CAL and Pepperl+Fuchs are also strong partners who are based in Germany, Italy, England and South Korea respectively.
