In a packhouse at peak season or a production line on deadline, electrical downtime is measured in dollars per minute. Best Forsyth Electrical keeps Hawke’s Bay industry running, with process automation, control systems, three-phase installations, and a genuine 24/7 breakdown service.
Built for production environments
Our industrial team works across factories, packhouses, coolstores, and processing plants throughout Hawke’s Bay. We install and maintain three-phase supplies, motor control centres, variable speed drives, and the control systems that tie a plant together. Because we design and manufacture switchboards ourselves, with 25+ years’ experience and as the local BREMCA Switchgear agent, we can build, modify, and repair control gear without waiting on outside suppliers.
Automation that pays for itself
Process automation isn’t just for the big end of town. We’ve helped local producers automate grading lines, pump systems, and refrigeration controls, cutting labour costs, improving consistency, and giving operators visibility over what the plant is actually doing. We’ll start with the problem you’re trying to solve, not the shiniest hardware.
When it breaks, we answer the phone
Every industrial client gets access to our 24/7 breakdown service. With 18 Master Electricians on the team, there’s always someone on call who can fault-find a control panel under pressure. We carry common spares, we know the local sites, and we get lines moving again fast, then follow up with a proper fix, not just a patch.
