Embertec Profile and History

Embertec is an Australian energy efficiency technologies company. We are the largest supplier of energy efficiency technologies in the country. We specialise in power-saving products for the consumer electronics and appliances market utilising a unique microprocessor controlled chip and supporting platform technology. Our products are intelligent, reliable and easy to use. They reduce all forms of power wastage - including standby power used by appliances when they're switched off, and active power used by appliances left on but not being used. The Embertec SmartSwitch standby power controller product is the market leader with over 2 million currently installed in more than 750,000 homes around Australia. We are committed to two principles: technology that contributes to a better environment and groundbreaking research and development that raise the bar on what we offer consumers. Embertec was founded in 2004 by a father and son team, Tony and Domenico Gelonese. Frustrated with his children leaving on the household TVs, DVD players and computers, Tony invented a product that turned the devices off when they were left on or in standby mode. His son saw the commercial opportunity in the invention - and so Embertec was born. Embertec has since committed to an extensive, Australian-based research and development program. Embertec continues to develop new and exciting products to deliver energy savings to our customers.
