Company Overview

Cablepoint Ltd has been operating in Hull since 1991. It is a limited liability company that occupies 15,000 square feet of manufacturing area, including office for administration, engineering and warehouse area.

Cablepoint Ltd is a SME. There are two distinct functions of the business.  Sub-contract manufacturing of electromechanical products offering a range of services to a broad spectrum of markets and a Packing Operation.

The business was formed in 1972 under the name of Alveronic, specialising in the service and repair of computers and peripherals. Alveronic was acquired in 1984 by MBS Communications, which grew rapidly to become the largest PC dealer/distributor in the UK. As part of this service a cable assembly division was formed. A downturn in MBS fortunes saw the cable assembly division being sold to its current ownership in 1991 and was renamed Cablepoint Ltd.

The company has grown with the technological changes of the last 30 years.  In 2008 the management of the business changed hands and the growth of the business since has been due to the diversity and number of the customer base.

Cablepoint’s greatest selling point is the quality of product and customer care.
