Our Story

What began three decades ago in a modest Newcastle garage as Celtech Services has grown into AVE Technologies, a national electrotechnology partner with more than 70 employees, two thriving NSW offices, and projects delivered across Australia, New Zealand and South East Asia.

From early roots in audiovisual and CCTV, we have grown into a trusted integrator across electrical engineering and drafting, process control and automation, access control, IP networking, wireless data and communications cabling. Our teams in Newcastle and Muswellbrook support clients locally and nationwide, with a strong focus on safety and quality.

The three red squares in our logo began as Audio, Visual and Electrical. Today they also stand for Ambition, Vision and Evolution. We design and integrate smart infrastructure with trusted global partners to deliver practical, safe, and enduring outcomes that stand the test of time.

AVE now delivers turnkey solutions for mining, power generation, education, defence, aged care, commercial and industrial sites, as well as government, transport and community infrastructure. We combine proven engineering with practical innovation to deliver systems that are scalable, compliant, and future-ready.

Our dedication to excellence was recognised at the 2025 NECA NSW Excellence Awards, where AVE won the Small Industrial Project of the Year award.
