About us
Clarke Cable specialises in wire harness and cable assembly manufacturing, design, prototyping and sub-contracting for all industries.
We have been manufacturing cable solutions for 50 years, having been the UK’s largest supplier of kettle cable assemblies for a large proportion of that time. Manufacturing has evolved significantly and more recently we have evolved into a bespoke cable solution provider as well as a single source manufacturer of cables and connectors for the global market.
With some of the most advanced facilities, and cutting edge technology in our factory, we can adapt to each customers needs and provide a perfectly tailored solution.
We have machine automation, reliable machinery and market leading testing facilities to ensure each cable meets the exacting standards in it’s specification.
If you need a high quality cable solution, then we can help deliver that.
Our success has been our ability to adapt to changes in the industry quickly, and deliver creative solutions to complex problems alongside reliable high-quality cable assemblies for mission critical use. We are a passionate team who strive to deliver the best possible solutions to our customers. We also love a challenge, and some of our most complex solutions have been huge innovations in cable manufacturing.

Cable cutting – Bespoke lengths
Cable cutting can often be a long and strenuous task, especially without the correct tools. With the huge varieties of cable available, it can often be difficult to choose what works best for you. Our experienced team have had over 45 years of working with various types of cable- whether it be single, three or 19-core, chances are we have dealt with it at some stage!
We offer the facilities of cutting and stripping cables to the length that you require. Our machines allow us to cut up to 2.5mm 3 core cable, with options to strip and crimp as appropriate. Want to utilise our cable cutting services with your own cable? You can also do this. Anything larger than this we can still operate on- our experienced operators are able to hand cut and strip your cable as well. Overall, we can offer you a valuable time-saving service, coupled with the knowledge of experience.
Need a cable sourced? We have a wide variety of cable options on hand, as well as potential for sourcing various new varieties for you. All of our sourced cable is all sourced locally and from the EU, and adheres to strict guidelines. We ensure that our cable is CE approved and approved for use with our moulded solutions- our passion for safety and quality is reflected through our standards.
Tagging – Ferrules, Bootlaces
We offer a huge variety of terminals to suit your needs. Our options extend to both hand-fitted or machine- operated reels. Time-saving and quality are key here- we ensure that all of our work is quality-checked as it is made, while saving you the time of assembling, fitting and testing.

Testing & Certification
Are you as passionate about quality as we are? Quality has a direct link to safety, and in our industry, safety is pivotal in everything we do. Did you know that about 1000 accidents at work involving electric shock or burns are reported to the HSE per year? Our objective is to make sure that you, or your customers, are not a part of this statistic.
Our passion for quality products is underwritten by our experience- we have over 45 years of experience of dealing in quality product. All of our assemblies and products are made in our Congleton factory in Cheshire. We believe that we can offer sturdy, British-made product to compete internationally, along with excellent local service and shorter lead times.
