AQ Wiring Systems Rockford is a leading provider of electrical systems, cable assemblies, and electro-mechanical solutions. We engineer our products for defence, aerospace, space, and other demanding high-reliability applications. As an electronics manufacturing company, we build precision-engineered products trusted across global markets.
We specialise in the design, development and manufacture of high-performance cable assemblies and wiring harnesses. We build them for harsh environment applications. Our team works with defence, aerospace and commercial clients worldwide.

Our Electronics Manufacturing Capabilities

Cable Solutions
We design and make cable solutions for defence, aerospace, space and harsh environment industrial use. Our capabilities include cable assemblies and wiring harnesses. We also build power, RF, woven, open and enclosed cable assemblies, plus fibre optic assemblies and interconnect solutions.
We offer flexible delivery models. You can choose build-to-print or build-to-spec. We also build fully custom designs. We provide prototyping, low, medium and high volumes to suit your needs.
We plan each job with care. We listen to your needs first. Then we plan the build. Then we make it. This keeps things clear and on time for you.

System Solutions and Enclosures
We design and build complete electro-mechanical assemblies. These include electrical enclosures, control panels, racks and integrated electronic systems. We combine metalwork with electrical integration. This delivers complete, ready-to-install equipment for our customers.
Our systems integration brings parts into one build. We join cables, enclosures, sensors and displays. This cuts risk for you. You get equipment ready to fit and use.
We take pride in every build. Our team works with skill and care. We check each join and each fix. You get a strong and safe unit that lasts long in use.
Types of Cable Assembly We Build

Enclosed Cable Assemblies
We make enclosed cable assemblies and sealed wiring harnesses. They are built for harsh operating environments. They bring power, signal, data and Ethernet into one sealed unit. This protects your critical electrical systems.

RF and Woven Solutions
We make low-loss, phase-matched and high-power RF assemblies, tested up to 26 GHz. Our woven cable technology creates low-profile and flexible interconnect solutions. Each weave is tailored to your needs and saves space.

Fibre Optic and Power Assemblies
We supply fibre optic cable assemblies for defence, aerospace, naval and industrial use. We also offer a full power cable assembly service, supporting low-voltage systems and heavy-duty cables up to 150mm².
These parts work hard in tough places. They carry data and power where you need them.
Accreditations and Standards
We hold AS9100D, IPC and Cyber Essentials Plus certifications. These show our focus on quality and security. We apply these standards to every process. You get reliable products every time.
Quality is part of how we work. We check each step as we go. We test what we build before it ships. This means fewer faults and happier users. It also helps us meet strict defence and aerospace rules.
We keep records clear and full. This helps with audits and reviews. It also aids future service work. You always know how your unit was built and checked.
Three UK Manufacturing Sites
We run three UK manufacturing facilities. Our Worksop and Salisbury sites focus on cable assemblies and wiring harnesses. Our Rendlesham site leads our System Solutions and enclosures work.
Each site offers prototype, low-volume and production services. We share skills across locations. This gives you flexible capacity when you need it most.
Supported by AQ Group
We are supported by the wider AQ Group network. This gives us extra resources and scale. It helps us grow from prototype to full-rate work. We serve customers across the UK and Europe.
Markets We Serve
We supply high-performance electrical solutions for harsh environments. We serve defence, aerospace, space and industrial customers. They all demand dependable performance in tough conditions.
