DEFENCE.
IT'S IN OUR DNA.
Amokabel Brand-Rex is a UK based manufacturer of high performance electrical cables, specialising in advanced solutions for the defence, maritime and aerospace sectors at our historic manufacturing facility in Leigh, Greater Manchester.
Our cable manufacturing heritage dates back to 1901, when production first began at our Leigh site. Helping to power the early electrification of Britain, cables manufactured here have since supported industries around the world, evolving alongside technological advancements and increasingly demanding safety requirements.
For over 125 years, Leigh has remained a centre of cable design, development and manufacture, building a proud legacy of British engineering and innovation. From our earliest defence contracts during the First World War to advanced polymer cable technologies for today's combat aircraft and military platforms, defence applications have been integral to our business for generations.
We offer a proven end-to-end cable development and manufacturing solution, perfectly aligned with defence sector requirements. Established in defence for over a century, we are deeply integrated and trusted across supply chain to provide approved designs or engineer new solutions for emerging challenges and technological advancements.
Our extensive in-house laboratory facilities support every stage of development, from material evaluation and design validation through to comprehensive electrical, mechanical, chemical, fire and environmental testing. This integrated capability enables us to develop, refine and validate extreme-performance cables against demanding technical specifications, ensuring compliance with the stringent standards of the defence industry.
