Labelling leaders since 1979
The leading global manufacturer of cable and equipment labels, proudly family-owned and UK-manufactured for over 45 years.
A family business built on trust
Silver Fox was founded in 1979 by Nick Michaelson and remains a family business today, with his wife Michelle joining over 20 years ago, and more recently their two sons and daughter also joining the business — working with the wider Silver Fox family, ready to guide it into the next 40 years.
The company proudly manufactures all products in-house in Hertfordshire, UK, with no intention of outsourcing this crucial piece of the product offering. The Labacus Innovator® software is also developed in-house and continues to be the most comprehensive labelling software on the market.
