Solutions that Drive Progress for the Future of Energy

Since our humble beginnings in 1998, TEN has evolved into Australia’s leading supplier of tools and equipment, network line materials and stringing machinery for the energy sector. 

Today, we are a nationwide business built on partnerships. We partner with utilities, contractors, and infrastructure professionals to deliver safe, value-adding, quality solutions that support our customers with all their project needs. 

How we help 

TEN supports projects across Australia with solutions, not just products by brining technical depth, honest advice, and a customer-first culture. Our team of engineers, sales specialists, and support staff work side-by-side with our customers to solve problems, meet deadlines, and deliver safer, quality outcomes always putting the customer at the centre of what we do.

What we do

Our business operates across three core streams: Tools and Equipment, Network Line Materials and Machinery across key sectors including power utilities, industrial infrastructure, mining, transport, rail, communications, and renewables. 

Tools & Equipment

We’ve developed and curated a market-leading range of specialist tools for the power industry. Our long history of supply, exclusive wholesale distribution, product manufacturing, and assembly services ensure we can provide fit for purpose equipment that meets tough Australian conditions. Our technical knowledge combined with efficient supply chain logistics means we can support customers with what they need to get the job done right the first time.

Overhead, underground and everything in between! Our range of solutions are diverse covering construction and maintenance of electricity networks across generation, transmission and distribution. We supply products across all utility networks and can fit out line trucks with all required tooling in line meeting state-based requirements and work methods.

From hydraulic crimpers and insulated sticks to arc flash PPE and safety gear, our tools are built to perform and protect. TEN manufactures a range of durable, field-ready storage — think stick bags, tool buckets, PPE bags and more — all designed to meet the demands of harsh Australian conditions.

Network Line Materials

TEN’s Line Materials team delivers critical solutions that underpin the reliability, safety, and longevity of Australia’s power networks. With a focus on network line materials and Asset Life Extension (ALE) products, we support utilities, infrastructure providers, and contractors across transmission, distribution, and substations with technically robust, field-proven solutions.

Our network line materials range is comprehensive, think everything but the structures and wires. This includes insulators – porcelain, polymer and glass, from LV to EHV including substations. Our hardware covers forged fittings, vibration control dampers, suspension and strain clamps, fabricated fittings, helicals and compression fittings. We can offer complete transmission line material packages covering hardware and insulators.

Our team combines engineering experience with commercial insight, working closely with project managers, network owners, and maintenance crews to solve real-world problems affecting aging infrastructure and new build reliability.
