Auto Marine Cables Limited

Our story began in 1964 when Howard Hammond opened his first car accessory shop in Bolton, then known as 'Kar-Bar'. Over the next several years, Kar-Bar developed into 10 shops, selling a diverse range of automotive parts.Then in 1978, due to repeated customer requests, we introduced cable to our product range; this was to shape the company's future for the next 40 years!By 1983, 'Auto Marine Cables Ltd' had relocated to our current site in Manchester. Within 10 years we were manufacturing our own low voltage cables, gaining accreditations for our internal quality systems, developing new products and improving our customer service measures.2014 was a milestone year for us; we celebrated 50 years in business and launched our Oceanflex range. Now, in 2018, the business has seen continued growth in both domestic and overseas markets, as we are exporting more products to our European and Worldwide partners.To this day, Auto Marine remains a family owned business in its third generation. We currently employ over 70 staff, more than 30% of whom have worked with us for over 15 years.Auto Marine Cables Ltd is committed to meeting all legislative requirement of the European Union (EU). these include COSHH, ROHS, WEE and ELV directives.
