Established by Martin Boniface in 1985 with an original trading name of Boniface Services, Bonlec was a part-time service orientated electrical business. During this time Martin was employed as the Maintenance Engineer for Country Style Bakeries (now known as Country Bake).
Boniface Services continued to grow as the need for a reliable, competent, 24-hour Electrical Maintenance Company increased in the Townsville region. It wasn’t long before Boniface Services had full time Maintenance contracts with customers such as Country Style Bakeries, Woolworths stores, Techno Plastics, Tip Top Bakeries and AE Smith .
In 1991, with four employees Boniface Services became Bonlec Pty Ltd.
In 1992, a separate division of Bonlec, North Queensland Controls, was born to service and supply the growing demand for air conditioning controls in North Queensland.
In 1994 a branch of North Queensland Controls was opened in Cairns by Martin Boniface and now employs 13 full time staff.
Our Townsville branch has shown steady growth over the past few years and now employs 28 staff.
In 1999, Bonlec/North Queensland Controls underwent a name change to incorporate three divisions, Bonlec Controls, Bonlec Electrical and Bonlec Wind & Solar.
In 2001, Bonlec expanded again, with the opening of a branch in Mackay. Bonlec Mackay now has 6 full time staff.
In October 2005, The Hughenden branch opened to give Bonlec a base in the heart of the cattle stations where solar pumping was becoming increasingly popular as an alternative for the watering of stock.
In November 2007, Bonlec Townsville moved into their new premises on Gorden street with an official opening of the building in February 2008. The added space available will now allow Bonlec to continue expanding and grow our business, diversifying into new areas such as our Switchboard Manufacturing division.
At Bonlec we pride ourselves on being able to overcome any problem or circumstance that may present itself. Our combined experience and knowledge has allowed us to maintain a 100% success rate.
Our aim is to keep this success rate intact!
