CST Automation Ltd is a specialist supplier of ferrules, wire end sleeves and cable preparation equipment for the UK and European electronics, cable and wire industries.

Operating through BootlaceFerrules.co.uk, the company provides a practical, accessible route for manufacturers, panel builders, electrical contractors and cable assembly businesses looking to source the components and equipment needed to prepare, terminate and process cable efficiently.

Its core range includes insulated and uninsulated end sleeves, twin wire ferrules, sleeves for thicker insulation, strip and coil-mounted products, assortment boxes and slide boxes. The business also supplies crimping tools and related cable preparation equipment, helping customers match the right product to their application rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

CST Automation works with recognised equipment and terminal suppliers including GLW, Ulmer, Tekuwa, Karl and Ikuma. This gives customers access to a broad choice of products, from everyday consumables through to specialist production equipment for more demanding cable processing environments.

Alongside new equipment, CST Automation offers used cable preparation machinery for businesses seeking a more cost-effective solution. This can be especially useful for companies expanding production capacity, replacing older machinery or investing in specialist equipment while managing capital expenditure carefully.

Technical support is an important part of the service. The experienced sales and service team can assist customers with product selection, equipment requirements, servicing and spare parts, helping to reduce uncertainty when buying components or machinery that need to perform reliably in a production setting.

CST Automation is also an official UK GLW service representative, supporting customers who require servicing, replacement parts or ongoing assistance for GLW equipment. The company is additionally interested in purchasing suitable second-hand cable preparation machinery, including equipment from manufacturers such as Schleuniger, GLW, Ulmer and Tekuwa.

Whether customers need ferrules for regular electrical assembly work, a dependable supply of wire end sleeves, or specialist equipment for cable preparation and production, CST Automation aims to provide straightforward advice, competitive solutions and dependable support. Its focus remains on helping customers keep cable processing work accurate, efficient and commercially viable. (bootlaceferrules.co.uk)
