Our Story

Wells is a family-owned business first established in 1984 as Wells Instrument and Electrical Limited
offering electrical, instrumentation and automation services along with commissioning and maintenance.


Since then, the company has diversified into revenue metering, field services and technical solutions with
proven leadership in field service technology and innovation; gaining a huge depth of experience with
contracts that range from modest to multi-million-dollar budgets.


With the growth of the company, an in-house engineering team was developed to meet the unique and
specialised needs of the energy sector. This team works to provide input on technology projects and
developments across the Wells Group.


Wells Group is considered a ‘team of teams’ and consists of two core-operating divisions.
• Wells Instrument and Electrical Limited (Instrumentation, Electrical and Automation)
• Wells Services Limited (Metering Services)


In addition, these two divisions have four subsidiary companies:
• E-merge Data Solutions Limited (IT Development)
• Wells Energy Innovation Limited (EV’s, Solar, BESS)
• Western Switchgear Limited (Switchboard Manufacturing)

• Wells Energy Services (Generators, UPS, and Compressed Air)


With 6 other branches throughout New Zealand, our head office is located in New Plymouth.
Customers outside of these regions are supported by our people in 15 service bases throughout New
Zealand:

• Kerikeri
