UK Wire Manufacturers
As the UK's leading specialist in wire and cable manufacturing and supply, we are frequently called upon to provide solutions for what could be considered unconventional applications. Whether you're looking for galvanised wire or cables for gym equipment, we have you covered. If specialist cables and wires are the answer, we can usually supply it.
We are not only a source of wire but also a source of extensive knowledge that comes from years of expertise in the wire and cable industry.
We have worked with the special effects departments of many film and TV production companies. So if you have ever wondered what really makes 'Thunderbirds Go', it's often Ormiston wire!
Our wire ropes are used to tether goats and other animals, so the space they have to roam is not too free range. We even supply wire to prevent moss growing on roofs.
For us, no specification is too large, too small, or too unlikely.
From your initial consultation to quality assurance on your finished product, we pride ourselves in attention to detail at every stage of the supply chain process. Certified by Quality Management System and JOSCAR Registered, we ensure that every length of wire is of the highest industry standard.


With a head office in Isleworth and manufacturing facilities in London and the Midlands, and industry experience that dates back to 1793, make Ormiston your choice for preferred UK wire manufacturers today!
Wire Applications
Art & Sculpture
While you may not think that industrial wire and its accessories have much use in art and sculpture, they actually play a significant role in the creation of installations around the world.
As UK Wire Manufacturers, we’ve collaborated with artists and sculptors to help them bring their artistic vision to life; assisting with the design process and ensuring that they find the most suitable materials for their projects.

Marine Wire

Military Wire
As an approved manufacturer and supplier to the military, we supply wire for a wide range of uses.
Applications can be for vehicles or general equipment and range from wire for antennas, to lanyards, to high-specification stainless steel locking wire for bolts.

Suspension Wire
Wire suspension applications form a major part of our business. We supply and manufacture specialist wire for a diverse range of uses and installations, particularly in the retail sector.
Main uses include hanging systems, whether for shelving, lighting, banners, or signs. But we can supply for any use where a low stretch, strong, small diameter flexible cable is required. We also supply control cables for electronic, medical, scientific and fishing applications.
Specialised systems held in stock include the Gripple Rope Grip, a self-locking system which completely eliminates the need for traditional devices. We also stock Superclamps, an instantly-adjustable micro-cable fitting system.

Heat Transfer
As UK Wire Manufacturers, Ormiston has considerable expertise in the complex field of heat exchange. We have manufactured wire turbulators since 1968 and have developed our own specialist looped-spiral design.
The turbulators we offer are manufactured from wire in the form of a looped spiral as illustrated, and we consider they have many advantages over Fin or Spiral sheet metal types.
The density of the turbulator can be varied to suit the liquid or gas flowing through the tube to give maximum excitement and heat transfer coefficient with a minimum loss of pressure thus economising on the length, diameter or number of tubes required per unit and allowing flow pumps to be kept to a minimum size.
Our turbulators are normally manufactured with a small eye at one end (to facilitate easy pull through the tubes) and a tail can be left at the other end for joining on any follow up length, when tubes over 3.00 metres long are involved.
These turbulators normally need no fixing in the tubes as wires grip quite tightly and do not tend to move with a normal flow of liquid or gas.
The wire from which this product is made can be of almost any metal and our present production includes galvanised mild steel, Stainless Steel, Copper and Monel Metal.
