HELME – Hardware Engineered for Longevity, Modularity, and Efficiency

At Helme, we believe industrial hardware should be built to last, adapt, and perform with minimal waste — every time.

That’s why our clamps are designed and manufactured in Australia, using durable materials and engineering principles that prioritise system longevity, modular flexibility, and installation efficiency.

Whether you’re routing service lines in high-vibration environments or upgrading complex infrastructure, Helme clamps are built to work harder, fit smarter, and scale with your needs.

We’re not just another clamp supplier. We’re building a platform for smarter, more sustainable cable management.

Pierre is both the technical and the strategic backbone of Helme.

Pierre has the vision, he is our ideas guy and as an engineer, he is also devoted to the details.

This combination has seen Pierre work on some ground-breaking projects in automation, reliability, and energy – all of which required out of the box thinking, strong leadership, and the ability to deliver complex innovations, without a guidebook.
