Made in Blackley. Supplied nationwide.
Cables have been manufactured on our Blackley site in Manchester since 1895 — a heritage that runs back through the original BICC works.
Today our Manchester factory produces building wires for national and independent electrical wholesalers, following the integration of sister company IDH. Alongside our own manufacturing, we stock and supply a wider range for building management, telecoms, rail, data networking and renewables.
