Our History
Control Focus Limited (CFL) was founded as an industrial automation and controls company by James Hardisty of Dunedin, New Zealand, circa 2014. Since its founding, Control Focus has been contracted throughout New Zealand for exactly that and so much more. Its industrial automation backbone has led the company to branch out into solar technology, self-sustained living systems, electric vehicles, smart homes, battery management, and general electrics. The more challenging the project, the more keen we are to give it a go and expand our expertise!
