History

Kambrook was founded in 1964 by Australian inventor Frank Bannigan, who had an obsession with electrical appliances and a mission to bring the price of quality products within everyone's reach. He converted his home garage into a workshop and named the company after the road on which he lived. In the early 1970s, Kambrook invented its first major product, the 4-way power board, which Frank developed out of frustration at not having enough power points to test his products; it became a worldwide hit. This was quickly followed by the plug-in electric timer, initially designed to test the life of every Kambrook appliance without physically switching it on and off, which also became popular. In 1977, Frank's inventive mind turned to a revolutionary new idea. The brand states that for more than 45 years it has been synonymous with affordable, quality appliances.
