B&R Ex Systems

A Brief History

B&R Ex Systems is a relatively new company formed in 2009 when there was a synergy between highly experienced people becoming available and B&R Enclosures desire to better serve this industry.

B&R Enclosures

B&R Enclosures is Australia's largest manufacture of electrical enclosures. It was founded in 1955 by Dick Bridges, father of the current Managing Director, Ken Bridges.

B&R has two manufacturing locations in Brisbane and Adelaide and has invested heavily on state of the art equipment. This has allowed us to obtain ISO9001:2000 certification for quality and AS/NZ 4801:2001 certification for OH&S.

For a considerable number of years B&R has manufactured a range of Ex'e' and DIP enclosures, but recognised that this was a market that was both highly specialised, and needed a greater range of products to meet demand.
