REDARC Electronics is an Australian electronics manufacturer established in 1979.[1] It is located in Lonsdale, South Australia, an industrial suburb south of Adelaide.[2][3]

REDARC products includes voltage converters, inverters, power supplies, battery chargers, and trailer braking solutions for industries such as automotive and trucking, agriculture, medical, and defense.[4] They are often used in vehicles for various purposes. REDARC holds the patents for the technologies on which these products are developed.[5][6]

The company has been listed on the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Australia list for three consecutive years - 2011, 2012, and 2013.[7][8][9] It was also named the 2014 Telstra Business of the year[10] and 2017 Global Media Award Winner for the Tow-Pro Elite Electronic Brake Controller at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas.[11]

In 2019, REDARC's Lonsdale facility added 3,000m2 of advanced manufacturing space in a $22 million development, enabling REDARC to increase its manufacturing capacity by 250%. The additional space now houses a new surface-mount technology line for loading electronic components, an electromagnetic compatibility chamber, and a vibration test lab. The vibration test lab enables highly accelerated lifetime testing of products, simulating 10 years of life in a reported span of two days. Three new universal collaborative robots ‘Cobots’ have also been purchased.[12] In the same year, REDARC has also moved into the Defense sector and has planned to work with the UK-based advanced manufacturing company MARL International to manufacture and support special light emitting diodes (LED) to be installed on the Type 26 Global Combat Ship-Australia (GCS-A), if BAE Systems secured the SEA 5000 Future Frigates contract.[13]
