ABOUT US
We are proud Kiwis committed to delivering choice, innovation, and cost-effectiveness to New Zealand's electrical industry.​​
​
For over 20 years ICS (formerly Independent Cable Supplies) has been supplying quality low and medium-voltage cable across
New Zealand. In 2021, ICS changed ownership and in 2022 moved its operation from New Plymouth to Auckland.
​
Our range now spans low and medium-voltage cables, underground and overhead cables, and a comprehensive range of conduit, flexible conduit, duct, and accessories. In 2025, we further expanded our offering, becoming the exclusive New Zealand stockist of Mascot Engineering’s glass reinforced concrete (GRC) cable pit range - including pits, risers, and covers.​
​
This complete product offering positions ICS as a trusted partner for high-quality electrical infrastructure solutions, all rigorously tested and compliant with AS/NZS Standards. Delivering nationwide, we operate out of a 10,000m2 warehouse, yard and office facility based in Otahuhu Auckland.
OWNER-OPERATED.
​
ICS is proudly 100% kiwi-owned and operated. Being owner-operated sets us apart - it means that we’re able to move swiftly to meet your often changing needs, make on-the-spot decisions and resolve any challenges quickly without the need for lengthy approval processes.
​
​
GLOBAL MANUFACTURING SUPPLY PARTNERS.
​
We have exclusive supply agreements with proven global ISO compliant cable, conduit and duct manufacturers. Our quality control process is comprehensive, with every manufacturing run tested, and each drum issued with identification linking to the test reporting. We confirm these results with our own testing carried out by a New Zealand-based IANZ-approved test lab.
EXTENSIVE INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE.
​
With over 85 years’ combined experience in New Zealand’s electrical industry across business management, distribution, and large-scale electrical project delivery, we have a unique and in-depth understanding of the market - and most importantly, our customers’ needs. We understand what it takes to deliver reliably and sustainably.
​
VALUED CUSTOMER PARTNERSHIPS.
​
We build customer-partnerships that are underpinned by trust and results. We will work together with you to create solutions; sometimes basic, sometimes requiring outside-the-box, brave thinking. And, because you are working directly with the owner, there is no hierarchy to navigate. We can adapt, implement, and deliver at speed.
