About Us

Since 1901, Nicopress has helped customers create dependable connections for wire rope, electrical cable and fiber rope applications. Founded as The National Telephone Supply Company, we have grown into a trusted name in utilities, rail, aerospace, defense, entertainment rigging, lifting, industrial, medical, oil and gas, agriculture and other specialized markets.

Across industries, the expectation is the same: The right connection has to be selected correctly, made correctly and trusted to perform long after installation.

That is where Nicopress brings more than just what we make.

Our sleeves, tools and fittings are designed to work together. We help customers understand what to use, how to use it and why the details matter. That role has become even more important as standards are revisited, supplier networks shift and experienced professionals retire.

Customer input has made one thing clear: the Nicopress standard is still defined by reliability, consistency and confidence. That is why we keep so much of our operation close to home, making most products in Cleveland, Ohio, and sourcing the vast majority of materials domestically. It gives us greater visibility across the full process, from material selection and supplier quality to tooling, inspection and the finished result.

Many people recognize Nicopress by the safety-orange handles of our tools. But the real value is what stands behind them: 125 years of engineering know-how, disciplined manufacturing, technical insight and a commitment to making connection systems customers can trust.
