Midland Wire Cordage (MWC) was founded in June 1875 in Sheffield and moved to Birmingham in the same year. 85 years later, following sustained growth, the manufacturing facility needed to be expanded and, as this was not possible in Birmingham, the company moved to a purpose built factory in Redditch in August 1962.

40 years later having recently been purchased by Ormiston Wire of Isleworth, founded in 1793, the company again moved to a more modern factory unit at North Moons Moat Redditch.

With the joint expertise of two companies with over 300 years of history the management team are looking forward to the challenges of the years ahead and the potential to maintain their positions as leaders in their field.
