History

We first started out in small premises in Linden, but our reputation for quality and workmanship, knowledge of motors and their faults and the ability to work with the client's needs and to a deadline, soon spread and we had to start looking for larger premises and more staff.

Elektron then moved to the Industrial Village in Broken Hill Rd, Porirua, but soon outgrew those premises and finally moved to the present location on the corner of Broken Hill Road and Kapuni Grove in Porirua.

Unfortunately, not long after the move, Peter Alevizos Snr passed away, leaving his son to step into the role of Managing Director. He was supported by another highly skilled rewinder, Bruce O'Brien, who became Manager, along with the team of experienced and specialised staff already in place. In a further loss to the company his family, Peter Alevizos Jnr passed away on the 21st January 2024.

Elektron has been passed to Bruce O’Brien who is now the Owner and Managing Director. Elektron has had to relocate to 24 Lyndhurst Road in Tawa due to Peter’s children selling the building at Broken Hill Road.

Bruce hopes to be able to move into a larger premise in the future. Bruce is committed to offering the same customer service as before.

Elektron is a family business founded on pride in workmanship, hard work, extensive knowledge of motors and driven by a determination to ensure client satisfaction, and still maintains that ideal and standard today.
