Murarrie’s unassuming powerhouse, NOJA Power, has clinched the Queensland Exporter of the Year award, proving that export industry heroes don’t always need capes.
Despite their low profile in the local community, the 24-year-old company’s impact on the global electrical grid is immense.
NOJA Power specialises in “reclosers”—sophisticated safety switches safeguarding major power distribution networks worldwide. Their success story is electrifying: a 45% revenue surge this year, building on a 38% jump in 2023. Export sales account for a staggering 88% of their multi-billion-dollar revenue.
With the largest global market share in reclosers, NOJA Power is expanding its horizons with EcoLink, an innovative circuit-breaker and fuse alternative. This timely product launch coincides with the electricity industry’s super-cycle, driving demand for sustainable switchgear.
The Murarrie-based headquarters and manufacturing campus employ over 350 staff, and there is an additional distribution centre in Morningside. NOJA Power’s global reach extends to offices in Brazil, Britain, the United States, and Vietnam, as well as licenced manufacturing partners in Mexico and South Africa.
The company’s origins lie in the collaboration of group managing director Neil O’Sullivan with executives Oleg Samarski, Jay Manne, and Quynh Anh Le – their initials ingeniously forming the company’s name.
The Queensland Export Awards also recognised other outstanding contributors, including Frosty Boy, JB Pacific Scientists and Engineers, Audeara Limited, UQ International Development, Lock Jaw Ladder Grip, Ryan Aerospace, Alt.vfx, and Burleigh Wagon.
