Kambrook was established in 1964 by inventor Frank Bannigan. From the garage of his home on Kambrook Road, Bannigan embarked on a mission to develop quality appliances at an affordable price. By 1970, he had invented the 4-way power board, a product so brilliant that it is now used in homes throughout the world.

This spirit of innovation has remained central to the Kambrook approach. Shortly after creating the 4-way power board, Kambrook created the plug-in electrical timer. In 1977, Kambrook invented another first – the plastic kettle. This Kambrook kettle offered superior heat insulation, was less expensive and safer than the metal alterative. The kettle was an instant success, selling 250,000 units selling in its first year.
