ABOUT US
Our goal is to ensure that our product and service is the benchmark by which the competition is measured.
Over 40 years ago, REDARC began to revolutionize the way people enjoy the outdoors by giving customers the ability to power electronics from any vehicle anywhere. REDARC’s power management solutions utilize vehicle, solar or utility power to charge all onboard batteries which go on to power trailers, refrigerators, lights, cooking utilities and any other household appliance. With the ability to monitor and control the power usage with REDARC, customers can enjoy the convenience of modern technology in the great outdoors for longer.
Engineered, tested and produced in Australia, REDARC products allow you to power your lifestyle safely and confidently wherever your adventure takes you.
REDARC History
REDARC Electronics was founded in August of 1979 by electronics engineer, Robin (Bob) William Mackie in South Australia. Bob started the business by designing and manufacturing vehicle ignition systems. In fact, the name REDARC is believed to have come from the spark developed in the first ignition system having a “red arc”.
In 1997, Anthony and Michele Kittel along with Michele’s Father, Denis Brion, purchased the business following the premature death of Bob Mackie. Denis Brion then retired in 2002 and Anthony and Michele purchased 100% of the business.
