Why Choose Us?

Whenever we are contacted by a potential new customer who has not used an external electrical sub-contract manufacturer before, we often get asked how we engage and work with their manufacturing process.

The answer for us is simple; we aim to do more than fulfil a manufacturing order, we go the extra mile to understand your product, before agreeing on a manufacturing process and work with you every step of the way.

We adopt this approach to every project we receive and every product we manufacture, whether it be wiring looms, cable assemblies, panel wiring or full box build, it guarantees the final product meets the customer’s specific requirements.

SIC employs over a hundred skilled operatives at our purpose-built 188,000 sq foot UK manufacturing facility. In addition to this we have built up strong and reliable partnerships with our low-cost manufacturing partners meaning we’re able to offer your company significant savings whilst still maintaining the ‘SIC standard’; an excellent level of quality, service and reliability.

Our ISO 9001:2015 accredited quality systems mean the specification of our products is always second to none, assuring you that every SIC manufactured item is of the highest standard.

Our clients range from global market leaders to niche start ups. The services we offer them vary widely from – simple wiring looms, cable assemblies to highly complex control panels and box build. It’s no coincidence then that SIC’s client acquisition and retention rate is amongst the best in the industry.

Flexibility is one of the cornerstones of our business; at SIC we’re as comfortable fulfilling your small production runs as we are delivering complex and high volume business. Whatever your project, we assign to you an individual project manager, who ensures that our commitment to quality, delivery and manufacturing excellence is always met.
