The company was founded by Paul Hellermann and Jack Bowthorpe in Croydon as Hellermann Electric, a subsidiary of Goodliffe Electric Supplies, in 1938.[4] It moved to a new manufacturing site at Crawley in Sussex in 1948.[4]
In 1964 the company acquired Insuloid Manufacturing, a business which had been founded in 1933 by the Emery family in Hulme, Manchester manufacturing bus-bar insulations.[5][6] It launched the Tyton system, a method for cable bundling in continuous system, in 1965[7] and established HellermannTyton Corporation in Milwaukee in 1969.[8] Then in 1976 it expanded into the aviation market, offering cable management solutions for airplanes.[9]

The company was sold by its then owners, Spirent, to funds controlled by Doughty Hanson & Co for £289m in 2006.[15] It was then the subject of an initial public offering in March 2013.[16] In September 2013 Doughty Hanson & Co sold a further 20.9% stake in the company for £119.25m.[17]
