Zip

Aussie through and through

Zip Industries is a privately owned, proudly Australian business that has been manufacturing and marketing Australian designed and made instant water systems since 1947.

It all started in 1962

Michael Crouch AO acquired a small Sydney manufacturer of kitchen and bathroom heaters called Zip heaters in 1962. He saw potential in the small company and set about innovating and expanding operations.

Boiling water. Refreshed.

During the 1960s Zip expanded its range of over-sink boiling water heaters catering to canteen, restaurant, factory and office kitchens. This didn’t just change the way we all do business, it changed the way we drink water. No more sitting by the kettle, no more waiting for a coffee.

Connected by water

Before long, Zip over-sink boiling water heaters were sold in more than 70 countries around the world.

Zip continued to evolve, innovate and refresh how we drink water.
