Clipsal

Clipsal is an Australian brand of electrical accessories. The main factory was located at Bowden, but it was announced in 2008 that a move would be made to a new site, located at Gepps Cross. The move took place in 2009. Clipsal used to boast smaller factories in South Australia at Nuriootpa, Strathalbyn and Wingfield, as well as Bayswater in Victoria. These have closed with production moved either to Gepps Cross or offshore. They have offices worldwide and sponsor the Adelaide Clipsal 500 V8 Supercar Race.

According to their website, Clipsal is a "market leader in data communications, industrial and home automation markets."

Since 2004 Clipsal Australia has been a subsidiary of Schneider Electric.

Clipsal was established by A. E. Gerard in Adelaide, Australia in 1920, selling a range of adjustable sheet metal fittings which joined the various imported conduits of differing diameters found in Australia at the time. This fitting was the product that gave the Clipsal company its name ("clips all" - Clipsal). Alfred’s son Geoff eventually took over the company, and it soon spearheaded several manufacturing breakthroughs, including the invention of the first all-Australian switch in 1930. The company also did early R&D on thermoplastics in the 1950s.

Clipsal Integrated Systems, a division of Clipsal, was responsible for the creation of the C-Bus product range and accompanying used in home automation.
