Boddingtons Electrical Ltd is a leading innovator and manufacturer of insulated hand tools, continuously developing new, high-quality products that add value across various industries. Based in Braintree, Essex, UK, the company operates as an insulated tool manufacturing factory and is a subsidiary of the SICAME Group, which acquired it in 2021. In July 2022, Boddingtons became the UK Hub and Distribution Centre for all Sicame Group C&I product range, including CATU, Mecatraction and others, serving the UK and Ireland market.
Founded in 1999 in Great Dunmow, Essex, Boddingtons has achieved steady growth through continuous expansion. By 2001, the company doubled its warehouse space; in 2002, increased production led to a third move; and by 2005, Boddingtons operated from larger facilities totalling 6,000 sq ft, employing 15 staff and exporting to 25 countries worldwide. In 2011, the company relocated to Prospect House, its current 12,000 sq. ft site, to further expand production and warehousing. Boddingtons’ commitment to quality and sustainability was recognised in 2020 with the BSI ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Certification.
The company prides itself on understanding customers and their needs, taking time to study each client and their market to deliver tailored, efficient solutions. By working closely with distributors, Boddingtons ensures they have multi-tool solutions that maximise sales potential with minimal product lines—offering the best options for all their customers in a rapidly growing market.
Today, Boddingtons Electrical Ltd continues to engineer insulated tools renowned for performance, precision, durability, and strength, maintaining its reputation as a trusted partner for professional tradespeople worldwide.
