Ormiston Wire



Ormiston Wire, which was founded in 1793 and is one of the oldest family-owned manufacturing companies in the UK, has a majority shareholding in Midland Wire Cordage. Between them, the two companies have a wealth of experience in all aspects of wire, wire rope, rope assemblies and associated end fittings, particularly in the smaller sizes.

Ormiston Wire is based in Isleworth, West London where they manufacture specialised wires, braids and strands in many different metals. These are used within industries as diverse as special effects in the film industry to high specification wire used in the nuclear industry. They also stock an extensive range of wires from stainless steel yacht rigging to surgical suture wire smaller than a human hair. They are still an independent family firm.
