Clarke
Cable
No other British manufacturer offers such a wide range of power cord sets as Clarke Cable, which was acquired by the Earlex Group in 1997. The company was originally known for supplying cable assemblies for small domestic appliances. Now, Clarke Cable is easily distinguished in the market by its constant innovations and reputation for reliable, well-made products. The customer base now includes manufacturers of power tools, electric fires, IT equipment, cleaning equipment, commercial catering and even sheep-shearing tools. Clarke Cable operates in a highly competitive market and one that is especially prone to me-too products whose producers have little or no regard for product safety approvals. For that reason, the company invests heavily in protecting its worldwide patents and in ensuring that safety standards and quality marks are rigorously upheld. Indeed, Clarke Cable was one of the first companies in the UK to achieve BS5750 accreditation back in 1986. Inspiration- We see our role at Clarke Cable as developing and delivering products which will help solve our customers' problems, enabling them to sell into a wider range of markets. The factory has been designed to offer fast response times, J.I.T., Kanban and a host of solutions to cable requirements. From one manufacturing source Clarkes can offer endless configurations of plugs for most world-wide markets. Homes and offices have become a haven for plugs and cables and this has proved an excellent opportunity for Clarke Cable to exploit and develop. With new ideas such as 'Y' connectors and readable plugs, Clarke Cable has eagerly responded to markets that demand easier, simpler, safer wiring. And, as no two world markets have exactly the same energy requirements or legislation, the company now sits at the centre of an ever-changing growth industry with global implications. It is one that shows no sign of tiring of our expertise, commitment to good value and high manufacturing standards. |
