About Us

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”- Arthur C. Clarke

For most the concept of delivering power wirelessly is the stuff of science fiction – but when Fady Mishriki and Greg Cross founded PowerbyProxi in 2007 their first thought was who can we find who has a pain point so big and a vision for what is possible that they will have to have it?

In a meeting in Tokoroa, New Zealand, with a wholly owned subsidiary of John Deere, our journey began with the question: “Can you build us one of these?”

To which we replied “Yes! – yes of course we can!”

What We Do

We work in close partnership with our customers to turning leading edge wireless power technology into real world solutions to supply power to applications which are difficult, challenging or impossible. In short – we are unplugging the power cable.

Who We Are
