WISKA UK Ltd: Celebrating 25 Years of Growth, Innovation and Excellence

On January 17, 2025, WISKA UK Ltd celebrates a remarkable milestone—25 years of serving the UK market with industry-leading electrical products.
Founded in 2000 in Wadebridge, Cornwall, WISKA UK has grown from humble beginnings into a thriving business employing over 50 people.

The Early Years...

WISKA’s first subsidiary, WISKA UK Ltd, was established on January 17, 2000. The business was set-up by Will and Maxine Rich, who continue to lead WISKA UK Ltd to this day. Working alongside a network of highly experienced and respected sales professionals in the market, the business grew. Initially, the product range was limited but stood out for its innovative features and distinct advantages over competitors. Since then, WISKA UK Ltd has experienced remarkable growth, expanding from a 100 sq. ft. premises to an impressive 20,000 sq. ft. facility, with an annual turnover now exceeding £20 million.

Innovative Products with a Legacy of Quality

WISKA Hoppmann GmbH, was established in Hamburg in 1919, and has built a century-long legacy in cable management and maritime solutions.
Known for innovation, WISKA introduced the ISOSTABIL in 1925—the first-ever plastic cable gland, incorporating the world’s first standardised Whitworth thread. Its products are rigorously tested at their cutting-edge facilities to ensure they meet the highest performance standards under demanding conditions.
WISKA UK Ltd has carried this heritage forward, adapting products to meet UK market demands and over the past 25 years, WISKA UK Ltd has earned numerous accolades, including EW Magazine’s Best Overall Brand in 2020 and 2024, while cementing its reputation with innovative
solutions. Signature products like the COMBI junction box, VentGLAND for condensation prevention, and the TKS 32 consumer unit tail kit have made WISKA a trusted name among UK electrical wholesalers and electrical contractors alike.

Innovative Products with a Legacy of Quality

In 2025, WISKA UK Ltd will introduce the new COMBI 310, further solidifying its place as a market leader exemplifying WISKA’s commitment to innovation and its forward-thinking ethos, ensuring the brand remains the go-to choice for cable management solutions in the UK.

Commitment to People and Sustainability

At the heart of WISKA UK Ltd’s success is its people. The company fosters a young, dynamic team, with 38% of employees starting as apprentices and an average age of just 34. This highlights WISKA UK Ltd’s dedication to nurturing talent and promoting professional growth.
“Our business is all about people,” says Rhiannon Rich, Commercial Manager. This philosophy extends to building strong relationships with customers and suppliers and embracing core values encapsulated in WISKA UK's core value known as The PATH: Positivity, Approachable, Team, and Humble.

Sustainability is another cornerstone of WISKA UK Ltd's vision. The groundbreaking TriShot Cable Gland exemplifies this commitment, boasting a 55% reduced carbon footprint, IP68 rating, quick installation, and a built-in seal. Recognised as the world’s first 3-shot injection-moulded cable gland, the TriShot reduces material waste, energy consumption, and assembly time, setting a new standard for environmental responsibility and efficiency.

The TriShot earned EW Magazine’s prestigious Industry Initiative of the Year Award, with Editor Bryony Andrews praising its innovative design, sustainability, and safety. “This award recognises initiatives that raise industry standards,” she noted.  It also picked up ECN Magazine's Cable Management Product of the Year 2024.
