From Concept to Commissioning and Beyond

Complete control systems engineering and manufacturing under one roof. Designed, built and tested for Australian industry.

SAGE Advanced Manufacturing Centre

Built for Scale. Designed for Precision.

SAGE Group has expanded its manufacturing footprint with its new Advanced Manufacturing Centre, an investment that significantly enhances production capacity and operational agility.

This facility supports SAGE’s operations nationally and enables us to better serve clients globally, reinforcing our commitment to delivering excellence at scale.

This purpose-built site introduces a 120% increase in assembly capacity, allowing SAGE to strategically realign its manufacturing operations.

By shifting high-volume control panel production - including ITS, repeat, and OEM builds - to the new Advanced Manufacturing Centre, SAGE focuses its existing on larger, more complex assemblies such as LV Switchboards and Motor Control Centres (MCCs).
This separation of production streams is a strategic move that enables:

  • Greater throughput and efficiency across both facilities

  • Improved workflow and resource allocation

  • Faster build times and enhanced responsiveness to customer demand

  • Improve manufacturing flexibility for an extensive customer base and future diversification opportunities.

The new Advanced Manufacturing Centre is also designed with scalability in mind.

With this expansion, SAGE Group is not just increasing capacity - it’s building a smarter, more agile manufacturing ecosystem that positions the company for long-term success in a competitive market.

Engineered. Manufactured. Delivered.

Control Panels (PLC/SCADA/Comms)

 

We custom-design and build industrial control panels, integrating design with manufacturing to reduce production costs, improve functionality and extend lifecycles. Our detailed testing before shipping enables you to test system functionality before on-site installation. Faster commissioning. Less disruption.

We specialise in:

Main PLC panels

Operator stations and consoles

RTU panels

Distributed I/O

Annunciator panels

Custom-made enclosures

Safety control systems

Bespoke special-purpose solutions for mobile equipment, mining, scientific and defence applications

Switchboards, Distribution Boards and LV Motor Control Centres

 

We design and build custom or modular, low-voltage switchboard systems tailored to your needs. With over 30 years of experience, we protect your people, assets and power sources while ensuring reliability and maintainability. 

As NESMA members, we stay up to date and contribute to evolving standards and industry best practices.  SAGE’s manufacturing capabilities apply robust verification techniques, collaborating with NESMA members’ experience and knowledge through regular networking.

Modular Switchboards

 

An accredited CUBIC, Xenergy, Elsteel and ABB Pro Enclosure system builder, we deliver modular switchboard solutions engineered for speed of construction, safety and reliability. Our systems offer manufacturing flexibility, rapid assembly and seamless expansion - all while maintaining safe power distribution. Component-level serviceability extends asset lifecycle and improves ROI.

We specialise in:

Main switchboards

Motor control centres and distribution boards

Generator set (genset) control systems

Renewable energy and UPS systems

Arc flash protection and temperature monitoring

Site upgrades and temporary power switchboards

Combined control and power solutions

Power factor and harmonic mitigation systems
