In 1990 we noticed that customers looking for cable-management solutions had to shop around and didn’t really get any help from the people they were buying from. It showed us there was a gap in the market for a company which could supply cable identification, termination and management products, and knew how to deliver top notch customer service too.

Needless to say, Cablecraft filled that gap. For the first time, customers felt looked after and we started attracting customers from a wide range of industries, including electrical contracting, rail and signalling engineering, offshore oil and gas, and petrochemical industries.

At the same time, our inventory grew to become the widest range in the world (available from one place), including the highly sought-after Brady and TE Connectivity marking systems. Happy days – and things were about to get better.

Over the next few years we spotted new opportunities to bring an even wider service to our customers, through a combination of acquisitions and expansion. In 2009 we acquired Betaduct, along with its highly acclaimed manufacturing plant. 2010 saw us purchase CTT, the crimp terminals and tooling specialist.

In 2012 we saw an opportunity to offer even more to our customers and launched Identification Solutions (custom printing and engraving) and our famous Tool Centre, from which we provide tool calibrations, servicing and repairs. We could now help those with bespoke requirements whilst playing a role in enhancing the safety and reliability of equipment in our industry.

In 2014 we acquired Birch Valley Plastics, and also Krempfast which became our Specialist Sleeving Division.

The Cablecraft group of companies was itself acquired by Diploma PLC in 2016. Being part of this international group of businesses gave us support and resources that we’d never had before, and further strengthened our future.

Part of that future is our new brand, which now fully represents us as a global supplier to multiple industries. But rest assured, what made us Cablecraft – our customer focus, our dedication to going that extra mile for you – is still at the heart of everything we do. As we continue to grow and expand our service, the benefits to you will also continue to expand.

We hope to have you with us every step of the way.
