Clipsal

[1][2] Smaller factories in South Australia at Nuriootpa, Strathalbyn, Wingfield, and in Bayswater, Victoria have closed and production has moved to Gepps Cross and to offshore locations.

Clipsal began by selling a range of adjustable sheet metal fittings which joined the various imported conduits of differing diameters found in Australia at the time.

[12][13] The case was dismissed on 29 April 2011, due to The Smart Company failing to comply with the orders from November 2009 to prepare for the 12-week trial.

Although the trial was scheduled to start on 31 May 2010, liquidators were unable to progress during late 2010 and early 2011 due to lacking access to documents possessed by The Smart Company relating to the action.

[15][16] In June 2011, the Yamaha Pitman founders attempted to resurrect the case against Clipsal Australia, filing the $3 million Deed Of Company Arrangement.
