Gardner Bender Cable Ties

Gardner Bender, often abbreviated as GB, is a well-established American brand specializing in electrical tools and wire management solutions. Founded in 1959 by inventor James Gardner in Wisconsin, the brand began with a patented aluminum conduit bender. Over the decades, it expanded its portfolio to include a wide array of products such as voltage testers, wire connectors, and cable ties, becoming a staple for both professional electricians and DIY enthusiasts.

While Gardner Bender maintains its historical roots in New Berlin, Wisconsin, its manufacturing footprint is global. Many of its standard plastic products, including specialized 6/6 nylon cable ties, are produced in various locations globally, including the United States and China, to meet international demand efficiently.

In terms of ownership, Gardner Bender was previously a key brand under ECM Industries. However, in 2023, ECM Industries was acquired by nVent Electric plc, a leading global provider of electrical connection and protection solutions. As of 2026, Gardner Bender continues to operate as a prominent brand within the nVent portfolio, benefiting from the parent company's extensive global distribution and engineering resources.
