Wylex Stockist

Wylex was originally founded in the mid-1920s as George H. Scholes Ltd., a manufacturer of fuse boxes and electrical accessories. The Wylex Works was built by George Scholes in 1934, at Wythenshawe, near Manchester, which is still the location for the manufacturing of commercial and domestic circuit protection products. Wylex dominated the UK market for decades in the production of RCD protected, rewireable fuse units, although modern MCBs are now more commonly used in Europe.

Wylex today forms part of the large and prestigious UK electrical group, Electrium, which also comprises Crabtree, Britmac, Appleby and Volex Accessories. Since the beginning of 2006, the whole group has been wholly owned by Siemens Holdings plc, and thus belongs to one of the industry's foremost manufacturers, with formidable resources for R&D, logistics, marketing and global sales. Electrium has some 400 UK and international employees, producing a comprehensive range of Low Voltage products which are world-renowned for outstanding quality and cost efficiency.
