What Happened to Mita Cable Management? Meet Cutterwell

If you've been searching for Mita cable management and not finding what you expect, you're not alone. The Mita brand has changed hands more than once over the years, and the most recent change is the one that matters most to you. Cutterwell is the direct replacement for Mita cable management. Same products, same UK factory, same team. The name is different. Nothing else is.

The Story Behind the Mita Brand

Mita has been part of the UK electrical industry since 1980, when it was founded in Flint, North Wales as a specialist cable management manufacturer. For nearly two decades it built a strong reputation supplying trunking, conduit and fittings to the UK wholesale market.

In 1999 Mita was acquired by the Lexel Group, part of Schneider Electric, and by 2009 the product range had been fully absorbed into the Schneider Electric brand. If you have been ordering cable management under the Schneider Electric name in recent years, you have effectively been ordering what was Mita.

In October 2024, Goodfish Group acquired Schneider Electric's cable management operation at the Flint site, the same facility where Mita products have always been made. Cutterwell was launched as the new brand for that range, supplied directly to UK electrical wholesalers.

One thing worth knowing: you may have seen the Mita name being used by a company called Wibe Group. They are a separate business that acquired Schneider Electric's GRP cable tray and ladder division back in 2021. That is a different product category entirely, industrial cable support structures rather than trunking, conduit and fittings. If cable management products are what you are after, Cutterwell is where you need to be.

Cutterwell Is Not Just an Alternative, It's the Same Thing

When people talk about finding a Mita cable management alternative, they are actually looking for something that does not exist, because there is no alternative needed. Cutterwell is not a replacement product made by a different manufacturer trying to fill a gap in the market. It is the same product, made by the same people, in the same factory in Flint that has been producing this range since 1980.

The team at the Flint site did not change when Goodfish Group completed the acquisition. The manufacturing processes did not change. The quality standards did not change. What changed was the name on the packaging and the company invoicing you.

For electrical wholesalers and contractors who have been specifying Mita or Schneider Electric cable management for years, that is about as straightforward a transition as you are going to get.

Your Part Codes Have Not Changed

If there is one thing that causes headaches when a supplier changes, it is part codes. Updating your system, retraining staff, going back and forth with customers who are used to ordering by a specific reference. It is the kind of admin nobody wants.

With Cutterwell, none of that applies. Every single Mita and Schneider Electric part code has been carried over. If you have been ordering CV101W, you are still ordering CV101W. Your system does not need updating. Your staff do not need retraining. Your customers can keep ordering exactly as they always have.

And if anything, ordering has got easier. Cutterwell has its own online portal where wholesalers can open a trade account, browse the full product range and place orders directly. Same part codes, same products, but now with a dedicated platform built specifically for the UK wholesale trade.

The Full Cutterwell Product Range

Over 300 products are now available under the Cutterwell brand, covering everything that was previously supplied under the Mita and Schneider Electric names. The full range includes mini trunking, midi trunking, maxi trunking, perimeter trunking, bench trunking, conduit, conduit fittings, flooring systems, power poles and posts, and switch and socket boxes.

Every product in that list is manufactured at the Flint site to the same BS EN standards that Mita customers have always relied on. You can browse the full range and view product details on the Cutterwell website.

UK-Manufactured to BS Standards

One of the things that made Mita products a reliable choice for UK electrical wholesalers was the manufacturing credentials behind them. UK-made, built to BS EN standards, consistent quality. That has not changed.

Cutterwell products are manufactured at the same Flint, North Wales facility that has been producing this range for over four decades. The same quality controls are in place. The same standards apply. And behind Cutterwell sits Goodfish Group, a growing UK manufacturer with four production sites and a clear long-term commitment to the UK wholesale market.

For wholesalers and contractors who need to specify products with confidence, nothing about the compliance picture has changed.

Available from Your Local Wholesaler

Cutterwell products are stocked by leading UK electrical wholesalers including Edmundsons, Yesss Electrical, CEF and Rexel. So if you have an existing account with any of the major branches, there is a good chance Cutterwell is already available to you.
