Remora Electrical

What Remora Electrical does

Remora Electrical Limited is a UK-based private limited company, incorporated in 1976 and headquartered at a purpose-built distribution centre in Hoyland, Barnsley. It distributes and manufactures cable termination and management products, including cable glands (proprietary GripLoc, ArmaKit and CCG ranges), cable cleats (including in-house polypropylene and LSF production since 1979), junction boxes, cable markers (Link-Lok), pre-insulated terminals, heatshrink, earthing and lightning products, MICC fire-survival cable systems, flexible conduit (SoliFlex), cable jointing solutions, and professional tooling. The company holds BS EN ISO 9001:2015 accreditation (UKAS, valid to August 2026) and offers ATEX-certified and fire-rated products for hazardous-area and safety-critical environments.

The business model is wholesale-driven B2B distribution with a complementary direct-to-trade e-commerce channel. Remora supplies all major UK wholesalers and distributors, sells directly through remora.net with next-day UK mainland delivery on orders placed before 3:30pm, and exports to over 20 countries both directly and via UK export houses. Unit-level trade pricing is publicly listed (e.g. cable markers at £10.99 ex-VAT, ring terminals from £2.08 ex-VAT), with free standard delivery over £100 net and a trade credit account option on top of card and pro-forma payment.

Customer segments span electrical contractors, panel builders, OEMs and industrial wholesalers, with vertical end-markets in oil and gas, power generation, rail, defence, water treatment, and mining and quarrying. Strategic positioning rests on 50+ years of catalogue iteration (currently 8th edition), proprietary brands alongside CCG distribution, certified hazardous-area and fire-survival product lines, and consolidated single-source procurement for trade buyers.

Direct peers

• CMP Products: CMP Products is a UK-headquartered manufacturer of cable glands, cleats and accessories for industrial and hazardous-area applications — directly competing with Remora's core GripLoc and CCG gland offering, particularly in oil & gas, rail and mining.
• HellermannTyton: HellermannTyton manufactures cable ties, identification systems (markers, labels) and cable management accessories — overlapping with Remora's Link-Lok markers, cable ties, sleeving and fixing product lines sold to electrical contractors and panel builders.
• Weidmüller: Weidmüller is a global manufacturer of industrial connectivity, including cable glands, terminals, markers and tooling — directly comparable to Remora's pre-insulated terminals, cord ends and crimping tool offering for panel builders and OEMs.
• Cable Components Group (CCG): CCG is the South African-headquartered manufacturer of industrial and hazardous-area cable glands that Remora has exclusively distributed in the UK and Europe since 1976 — a partner but also a direct comparable in product range, certifications and end markets.
• Hawke International: Hawke International (a Hubbell brand) manufactures cable glands and transit systems for hazardous and industrial environments — overlapping directly with Remora's ATEX/IECEx gland range and serving the same oil & gas, petrochemical and marine end markets.

Broad incumbents

• TE Connectivity: TE Connectivity is a global manufacturer of connectors, terminals, cable accessories and identification products — a much broader incumbent whose terminal, lug and heat-shrink ranges overlap with Remora's pre-insulated terminals, cable lugs and heatshrink SKUs.
• Prysmian Group: Prysmian is the world's largest cable manufacturer, also producing cable accessories, glands and jointing systems — overlapping with Remora's cable, jointing and MICC ranges but operating at far greater scale across power, telecoms and industrial markets.
• ABB Installation Products: ABB (formerly Thomas & Betts) is a global incumbent in cable glands, terminations, ties and electrical installation products — overlapping with most of Remora's catalogue but sold through broad electrical distribution rather than a specialist UK wholesaler model.
• 3M Electrical Markets: 3M's Electrical Markets division manufactures electrical tapes, heatshrink, terminations and identification products — a large incumbent whose product ranges overlap with Remora's PVC/specialty tapes, heatshrink sleeving and cable marker SKUs.
• Eaton: Eaton is a global power management company whose Electrical sector produces cable glands, junction boxes, earthing and lightning protection products — a broad incumbent with overlapping products to Remora's junction boxes, earthing range and accessories.
