Ancor was founded over twenty years ago to solve electrical problems experienced by mariners as they ventured offshore in large numbers. General purpose wire and components designed for onshore applications caused significant problems as electrical systems became more sophisticated and demanding.

Ancor Marine Grade® Products quickly became the system of choice as the first major supplier of UL listed products designed for the harsh marine environment. Often imitated, never duplicated, Ancor continues to lead the industry by providing the most water resistant, flame retardant wiring products available.
