R&D Technology is excited to announce our recent acquisition by Colterlec. Marking a bold new chapter in delivering end-to-end electrical engineering and service excellence across Australia.
As a trusted name in electrical solutions for over three decades, Colterlec has grown into a leading national distributor of engineered electrical products.
Colterlec partners with top suppliers like Danfoss, Eaton, and Fluke. Their regional offices and warehouses ensure fast access, quality products, and expert support. They serve mining, manufacturing, transport, defence, energy, and more.
This partnership brings together our Australian-owned companies with a shared commitment to innovation, reliability, and customer success. For our clients, this means more expertise, greater reach, and even more support.
R&D’s CEO, Toby Dodd, says the partnership brings significant benefits for clients, suppliers, and the team.
“This partnership allows us to grow and strengthen the way we support both our customers and suppliers,” said Toby.
“With Colterlec’s national reach and shared commitment to innovation, we’re better positioned than ever to deliver the expertise and trusted solutions our clients expect.”
For the team at R&D, it also means new opportunities to collaborate, grow, and be part of a stronger national network.
By joining forces, with Colterlec we can combine local engineering expertise with national distribution power, delivering:
- End-to-end solutions: Access factory-authorised products via Colterlec, combined with R&D’s custom builds, integration, and lifecycle support.
- Faster projects: Stocked components and on-site technical support keep your operations moving.
- Expanded technical depth: A unified network of engineers and technicians equipped with trusted global brands.
- Seamless service experience: No matter where our clients operate, they can rely on consistent support, trusted expertise, and dependable solutions across the country.
This acquisition is more than a milestone, it’s the foundation of a stronger, unified network designed to deliver real-world power solutions. Clients can look forward to faster fulfilment, deeper technical insights, and even greater reliability.
