NHP

NHP’s beginnings span back to 1968, when company founder, Nigel H Peck, had a vision to create a 100% Australian owned and operated switchgear company.

Sprecher + Schuh

Sprecher + Schuh has been one of the leading manufacturers of high quality electrical equipment in Europe for many years. The company was founded by Carl Sprecher in 1900 in Aarau, Switzerland, but in 1993 the company was acquired by Rockwell International and now operates under the direction of Rockwell Automation.

The Sprecher + Schuh facility in Switzerland continues to operate and develop products for world markets as a centre of excellence and will continue to produce low voltage control gear products, including the world famous Sprecher + Schuh contactor range.

In 1968 NHP was appointed the exclusive Australian agent for Sprecher + Schuh low voltage motor control gear products which were primarily manufactured at the head office of the company in Aarau, Switzerland.

Since 1966 when Sprecher + Schuh equipment was introduced into the Australian market it has received remarkable acceptance from Australian industry. This has been largely due to the technical superiority of the products produced to traditional Swiss exacting standards of precision engineering. These high standards are the result of strict manufacturing controls and testing, and by the use of the latest high quality materials available. This high quality has resulted in remarkable reliability ensuring long life and excellent performance.

The full range of Sprecher + Schuh equipment is freely available throughout Australia and New Zealand from the NHP organisation or NHP representatives and distributors.
