Host details and information

Company - Ormiston Wire Limited

Ormiston Wire Ltd. was founded in 1793 in the City of London and began by making spring wire for corsets and wigs in the days before rubber. The company is now based in Isleworth, West London where we manufacture specialised wires, braids and strands in many different metals. These are used within industries as diverse as special effects in the film industry to high specification wire used in the nuclear industry. We stock an extensive range of wires from stainless steel yacht rigging to surgical suture wire smaller than a human hair. We are still an independent family firm. Now under the leadership of Mark Ormiston, the sixth generation of the family, the company still maintains the motto 'any kind of wire'. All types of wire, ferrous and non-ferrous, can be supplied in all sizes and in any length, or can be processed, e.g. redrawn, braided, etc., according to specific instructions. With facilities for drawing, rolling, winding, rewinding, spooling, braiding, bunching and jacketing, the company supplies anything from, for example: a 1m length of exotic wire for a research institute; to 44,000 km of stainless steel wire rope for an Olympic rowing course; a 100m length of miniature non-rotating silver braid for surgical use; to polypropylene covered, Kevlar-cored strand, for low-voltage lighting.
