About Us
History
The Alstra story began back in 1997, when the Grainger family opened their doors to the electrical wholesale industry. What started as a small operation with a big commitment to looking after people has grown into a trusted name across the Hunter region—and that same hands-on, personal approach is still at the heart of everything we do.
At Alstra Electrical Wholesalers, it’s never just about moving stock. We take the time to understand each customer’s needs, whether it's a quick part for a hot water system or helping find the right solution for a bigger project. Our team is always ready for a chat, always happy to help, and we’re proud that so many of our customers have become familiar faces over the years.
We’ve been based in Thornton for over 16 years now, building strong relationships and stocking the specialised products our customers rely on. Our focus on friendly, genuine service has helped us grow a loyal customer base—and we’re incredibly grateful for the support we've received along the way.
Being part of the Electrolink buying group means we can keep offering top-quality products at competitive prices, but it’s our people and our service that really make the difference.
And now, we’ve brought that same spirit into our latest venture—Alstra Lighting. New space, new possibilities, but the same care, commitment, and local heart that started it all.
Current
Still proudly owned and operated by the Grainger family, Alstra Lighting is built on personal service, genuine care, and a love for helping people bring their spaces to life. Our showroom is the newest addition to the Australian lighting scene—designed with a modern industrial flair and interactive displays to make your visit inspiring and enjoyable. But we know not everyone can make it in person, so we’ve made everything available online too, giving you access to our full range and support no matter where you are in the country.
We understand how important your choices are—whether you're picking a smart home setup that fits your lifestyle or selecting the perfect ceiling fan to anchor your living room. With decades of industry experience behind us, we're here to help guide you through it all, no matter the size of your project. From a single light to a full home design, we’ve got you covered.
