ADVANCED
POLYMER SCIENCE.

Historically, our site in Leigh has been at the forefront of developing specialist cable compounds, from traditional rubber formulations to advanced polymers. Today, polymer science remains central to our manufacturing capabilities, enabling us to engineer specific performance characteristics, from fire safety and environmental resistance to mechanical strength and flexibility.
Our in-house laboratories and manufacturing departments work hand in hand to research, develop and test advanced polymeric insulation and sheathing materials, delivering cable solutions engineered to meet the most demanding performance requirements.
