J.A. Martin, a business of ARA Electrical, is an established electrical company that have been providing switchboard, engineering and projects for over 50 years.
Recently, the team completed two groundbreaking projects, bringing a new era to the cotton gin industry throughout Australia.
Within the outer region of Katherine in the Northern Territory, the first ever Cotton Gin had been completed in 2023. This gin will help eliminate transport of the cotton to Queensland and will be a hub for over 90 cotton growers to process their cotton. J.A. Martin was responsible for the electrical design, field installation and successfully installed custom switchboards to assist with the gin’s electrical efficiency and reliability.
“Delivering the first cotton gin in the Northern Territory was a proud moment for our team,” said Jason Moore, Managing Director of ARA Electrical. “It’s a testament to our ability to deliver complex projects in remote locations while maintaining the highest standards of quality and safety.”

Drawing on the success of this project, J.A. Martin are nearing the completion of Kununurra’s first cotton gin in Western Australia. This gin will utilise Lake Argyle to have the gin powered by hydro-electric power, showcasing J.A. Martin’s focus on innovation and excellence within the industry. This cotton gin will become one of the safest and most energy efficient gins in Australia.
Phil Lowbridge, the General Manager of J.A. Martin has stated
“The Kununurra project in Western Australia is a milestone not just for J.A. Martin Electrical, but for the cotton industry as a whole.” “We’ve integrated cutting-edge electrical systems that will make this one of the most energy-efficient gins in the country.”
J.A. Martin is a trusted partner throughout the cotton industry as we continue to be at the forefront of providing high quality, energy efficient gins right across Australia.
