As the longest established Cable Harness manufacturer in England, we have been producing cable products for some of the biggest engineering names in the business for more than 50 years.
Our Harness Heritage
In 1967 our Cable Assembly journey began with a single customer and the manufacture of highly resilient harnesses for use in machinery deployed in one of the world’s most challenging environments – the offshore Oil & Gas industry.
In 2021 we are proud to still call that company a customer. One which, not only is listed on the FTSE 250 Index, but also is recognised worldwide as a genuine engineering giant.
Our Sector Experience
Today, WH Kemp’s Cable Harness customer base extends far beyond the Oil & Gas sector, embracing many of the UK’s leading manufacturers from the Marine, Rail, Utilities, Nuclear, Automotive, Scientific, Defence and Robotics sectors.
Just as our founder customer relied on our ability to provide products for demanding environments, we equip these engineering companies with high specification Wiring Harnesses and Cable Assemblies for machinery and instruments deployed in polar and desert conditions, as well as for underwater use and life support systems.
Our breadth of sector experience, combined with a skills base accumulated over half a century, has placed WH Kemp at the top of many Cable Assembly procurement lists, for decades.

Our Performance Promise
Customers can rest assured that any Cable Assembly or Wiring Harness assembled by the WH Kemp team is produced in accordance with IPC standards. We hold UL accreditation, and manufacture within a Quality Management System conforming to ISO 9001.
We work to Zero Defects Targets. Potential and actual errors, once detected at the various inspection stages, are discussed and examined in our daily team meetings, and fully rectified prior to moving to final production and delivery. Root cause analysis systems, such as the ‘5 Whys’, are embedded in our processes to eliminate error repeats.
Our Cable Assemblies are organised and packed according to customers’ stated instructions. Over the past two years, the company has been running at an average Delivery On Time rate of 98%+, which of course means the majority of our customers are benefitting from 100% OTIF.
We appreciate customer circumstances and schedules can change, often at short notice and for good reason. At WH Kemp, we adopt a flexible manufacturing process. More often than not, due to our scale, we can alter our internal scheduling of teams and machinery, in order to bring orders forward or expedite very short deadlines.
