Industrial European Switchgear
You're acutely aware that reliability is key in the harsh environment of a poultry farm, where an electrical failure can be catastrophic.
Metroid’s switchboards only include the highest quality Schneider and NHP parts, for years of rock-solid reliability. Replacements are available from any electrical wholesaler.
We understand bird placement dates are inflexible, and so are your construction schedules.
Once we’ve sat down with you and agreed on a production schedule, we’ll make it happen. No ifs, no buts. We have the manufacturing capacity to back it up.
Any controller. Any configuration. No compromises.
We’ll work together with you to design a board that ticks every box, and you’ll be given the full set of electrical circuit and layout drawings – we’ve got nothing to hide.
Electrical failures can cost serious money. With Metroid’s background in industrial controls for mining and critical infrastructure, combined with our practical poultry industry knowledge, you can rely on Metroid to consistently deliver Australia’s most reliable poultry switchboards.
We only use tried and trusted European switchgear, lights and switches for rock-solid reliability and maximum ROI.
Whether you’re a developer, project manager, equipment supplier or farm manager, you can rest easy.
Almost every farm is different, so we work closely with you to design the perfect board for your specific equipment and controller. We’re completely flexible on everything – except quality. Whether it’s top or bottom cable entry, separate distribution section, controller mounted inside or outside the board or anything else, we can provide it.
We’ll run with any brand of controller: our engineers have worked with Skov, Rotem, Hired Hand, Cumberland, Big Dutchman and others.
We produce a full set of CAD drawings showing all internal wiring and board layouts for your approval before we start construction. No nasty surprises and stuff that doesn’t work onsite.
Broiler farms are getting larger and built faster than ever before, but Metroid can handle fast-paced developments with ease. Our two LEAN production lines are capable of producing multiple switchboards for multiple developments, every week, concurrently.
We’re the only board builder in Australia using our own proprietary computerised wiring stations to drive superior wiring accuracy and efficiency.
No broken delivery promises and no missed placement dates. Relax – once we’ve nailed in a delivery schedule, we’ll stick to it – no matter what.

Typical project
“We have been using Metroid to supply main control boards for our poultry sheds at Blanchetown, South Australia and have been delivered 30 boards so far with another 12 to complete the project.
Metroid have met all delivery targets on time. As can be expected, we were nervous teaming up with a new company for such an important build but things have gone very well. There have been a few minor changes needed after the first order due to us not supplying the correct information.
I have no reservations in recommending Metroid to anyone needing electrical boards.”
Richard Sanday"We engaged Metroid for a recent 20 shed development near Griffith.
We’ve found them a great company to deal with. Every delivery has been on time, and the quality of the boards is excellent.
I would highly recommend Metroid to any farmer or developer building broiler farms."
