Brand-Rex LogoBrand-Rex is Europe's leading data communication cabling systems provider. A position that has been achieved through an innovation led design philosophy that challenges conventional constraints to deliver the highest performance network solutions available.

Coupled with strong, focused distribution and installation partners, trained to the highest standards, Brand-Rex is able to deliver and support a global client base in a way that no other industry player can match.

Brand-Rex Limited was established in the UK in 1972, whilst the company's roots stretch back to 1942 in the United States when the original Brand Corp and Rex Corp cable companies merged to support an increased demand for aircraft cabling. Since this time, the company has gained both the experience and credibility that has ensured our reputation as one of the most respected and trusted voices in the market today.

Whilst the company's Headquarters have remained in Scotland, Brand-Rex has a considerable global reach through our regional offices. These offices, combined with other locally based sales teams, give Brand-Rex a presence in over 50 countries world-wide.

Brand-Rex has developed a market leading position by focussing on the true needs of our customers and delivering high performance, maximum reliability systems manufactured to the highest quality standards. Our systems are delivered through a channel of expert distribution and installation partners, all trained and supported through our team of technical service experts.

Having just completed a massive investment programme, Brand-Rex has a data cable manufacturing plant that ranks within the top three in the world for output efficiency. With a commitment to support European demand with locally manufactured cables of the highest performance, we recognise that survival in this competitive market will only be achieved through becoming the benchmark for world class manufacturing performance.

With today's leading businesses relying more and more on high speed data networks, there has been an awakening in minds that realises that multi-million pound investment in high performance active network equipment is wasted if it is not supported by an equally sophisticated cabling system.

Brand-Rex continue to deliver when and where you need us most.
