Ampcontrol has been named one of Australia’s Most Innovative Companies for 2023 by the Australian Financial Review (AFR) for its advanced Australian manufacturing of energy solutions.
This recognition comes as Ampcontrol launches a new company vision to lead the global energy revolution with strategic plans for growth and expansion into new markets, geographic locations, and innovative energy transition solutions for the resources sector.

“We want to help and support our customers and industry to decarbonise by developing and manufacturing energy solutions of scale to enable a competitive advantage in a net-zero carbon environment. Collaboration is essential to bring together the brightest minds so we can think radically to challenge the status quo and disrupt the future of energy.”
Out of over 700 submissions, Ampcontrol was ranked within the Manufacturing and Consumer Goods category of the Australian Financial Review (AFR) BOSS Most Innovative Companies List for 2023.
Organisations’ scores are based on three components: an innovation they have implemented in the past 24 months; how the company has embedded innovation into their organisation; and performance on behaviour change consultancy Inventium’s Innovation Benchmarking survey which assess performance on a range of innovation drivers.
The accolade was attributed to the innovative Ampcontrol Electric Vehicle, DRIFTEX, helping to decarbonise and electrify the mining industry. Designed and developed in response to growing industry demand for low emissions technology, the Ampcontrol Electric Vehicle DRIFTEX also offers significant health and environmental improvements by removing carcinogens underground.
