About Us
FOUNDATION
Founded in 1986 in Adelaide, NPA began on Waymouth Street and quickly became recognised as a trusted Australasian supplier of cable and wiring accessories.
Over the years, NPA has built strong, long-standing partnerships with customers and suppliers, earning a reputation for reliability, product quality, and service across the electrical and electronic manufacturing industries.
NPA TODAY
In 2025, NPA Adelaide became part of Dore Electrics. Joining a national network gives NPA greater resources and service capability, while keeping the brand its customers know.
Now based in Dandenong South, Victoria, NPA continues to supply cabling and wiring accessories, nylon fasteners, and electronic interconnect hardware across the Asia-Pacific region.
NPA and Dore Electrics share a commitment to quality, reliability, and customer service. NPA customers can expect the same dedicated support and quality products they’ve relied on for decades.
WORKING WITH NPA
Since 1986, NPA has worked closely with its customers and suppliers. The team takes pride in what they do, and NPA's success depends on the success of its suppliers and customers across the globe.
MANUFACTURING & DISTRIBUTION
Whether NPA manufactures a product itself or sources it from a partner, the focus is always on quality and value. NPA works with manufacturing partners in the USA, Europe and Asia, and services manufacturing industry clients at home in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and beyond.
PRODUCT RANGE
NPA sells its own manufactured products alongside products from select quality manufacturers. As a high-volume stockist of both, NPA has products ready for shipping to anywhere in the world.
MADE TO ORDER
NPA partners with its clients in the design and development of custom Made to Order (M2O) products for unusual or specialised applications.
From a customer concept, NPA uses its advanced prototyping and manufacturing facilities to take customer ideas from prototype stage to final product manufacture and distribution.
