About Thor
There is no substitute for experience and when co founders of Thor Technologies, Nile Ausmus and Roy Stokes developed the Surge Shield range of products there was over 65 years of experience behind the development team, that was 12 years ago. We have grown significantly since then and this is shown by the innovation in our latest range of cutting edge products.
All research, development and engineering is undertaken in Australia. Thor Technologies is 100% Australian and proud of it. Even today the hardwired range is still 100% manufactured in Australia.
We are a Company that produces products for our own backyard so you can be assured that when we make a promise we have to stand by it. Being Australian we intend to only ever offer products that do what they say they do. At the end of the day it is what’s inside that counts and that is why we are not afraid to show you our circuits as pictured on all our boxes. Some of you would be surprised at what little components are in some of the other brands. They must think the bigger and heavier and glossier the product the more it will sell. If you are buying power protection based on this concept then you may need more help than we can give, so be careful.
The SMART SERIES range, first released in 2006 continues to produce. The latest release from this generation in January 2013 is, the 3rd generation, very successful Smart Power Station. 2013 will also see another product release that has been 3 years in development and be the first surge protector on the market to be able to alert via email when hit by a surge and needs replacing. The R & D team has been working hard and has merged its experience with an ear for what the market was asking for. The Smart Series range is the most dynamic and progressive in the market. Our products will provide the best solution for your equipment whether it is for your home or office.
Remember we are local so if you have a problem or there is not a product available to you off the shelf come and talk to us as we may be able to build it for you – it is that simple!
About Thor
One of the major reasons Thor Technologies has enjoyed market acceptance is because of its experienced and talented research and development team. Success has not been by accident but due to careful planning and market research coupled with the strong desire to lead with cutting edge technology.
We have always believed in continuing to improve and strive for new innovative products. This is an ongoing process and is often borne from valuable feedback received from our customers.
One of the reasons we are happy to offer a no questions asked replacement warranty is because as a manufacturer we value the information we can obtain from products that have been active in the field. The data obtained from these products help us to keep improving our range.
All of our research and development is done in Australia. So you can be assured the products are made to suit Australian conditions.
