CBD Energy History

CBD Energy evolved in 2002 from the Australian-listed company CBD Online Limited when that company acquired the energy management business Ventronics (Hong Kong). Since then, CBD Energy has rapidly grown into a diversified energy and building services group. In 2003, CBD acquired CapTech, a manufacturer of power quality solutions, and in 2004, it acquired Parmac Air Conditioning and Mechanical services, and OP Industries. CBD was first listed on the ASX in 1998.
