When customers and professionals refer to Sumcab, we are often defined as "manufacturers of special cables". Obviously, this statement is correct, but in addition to that, we design, manufacture and supply special cables of the highest quality to suit different needs.
With more than 25 years of experience, the manufacture of cables has gone further and we currently have different production plants in different countries, the creation of the Sumcab Robotics Spain division, the promotion of our own testing laboratories and, of course, the wiring design for different markets.
Below we tell you in more detail what Sumcab consists of, why we are leaders in the manufacture of special cables and, also, what other services we offer.Cuando clientes y profesionales se refieren a Sumcab, muchas veces nos definen como "fabricantes de cables especiales". Obviamente es una afirmación correcta, pero además de ello, diseñamos, fabricamos y suministramos cables especiales de máxima calidad, pensando en diferentes necesidades.
What really is Sumcab and what does it offer?
Yes, we are manufacturers of special cables. In this manufacturing process, we also take care of their design and supply to different customers, always maintaining the highest quality levels.
In general, what we do is to offer solutions for all types of national and international markets in a comprehensive process. In other words, we take responsibility for all phases of a project.
We start from research and development, as approached from our laboratories. One of our ever-present objectives is technological innovation, in order to offer our customers maximum quality and, at the same time, to differentiate ourselves from the competition.
Furthermore, our special cables help reduce costs throughout the entire life cycle of the installation because they are tailored to each customer's needs and based on the demands of each application.
Supplementing this, there is the factory, the place where these designs come to life. We develop special tailor-made cables and adapt to each project, accompanying customers from engineering to execution.
In addition, our laboratories enable us to take advantage of new materials and discover new production processes, to offer products with a differential value in the market.
Independent manufacturers of special cables
One of our main values is independence as manufacturers of special cables. For more than 25 years, we have been focused on a work process that enables us to choose the most suitable solution in each project, for us and of course for each customer.
Thanks to our horizontal structure, we work on all products comprehensively and in a manner which is agile and accessible. This means that we make a difference and this is what consolidates our brand, which leads to an increase in our International presence. In addition, we extend our objectives, from the construction sector to peripherals for robots, or even safety systems for automated areas.
To achieve this, we have facilities that include the best infrastructure for this work. In addition, they enable us to manufacture special tailor-made cables, to fully adapt to the requirements of each project or application.
With technological innovation we can take advantage of new materials, test new manufacturing processes and create products with a differential value in the market.
At the factory in Sant Pol de Mar (Barcelona), we manufacture application-specific and special cables to order. With suitable infrastructure, we operate independently, in terms of manufacturing different solutions adapted to the needs of each customer.
Subsequently, from our testing laboratory, our cables undergo various tests, to confirm their technical properties, their security, their behaviour regards combustion, torsion, traction and also their bending resistance.
Applications for all types of cables and reference markets
Since the founding of Sumcab in 1998, we have constantly invested in the manufacture of new types of cables, reaching the greatest possible number of diverse sectors. Today this enables us to work with customers in sectors as diverse as industrial robotics, communications and telecommunications, the automotive industry, also green energy, cable chains, safety systems and many more.
Each sector may require different installations and need different types of cables, which cover demands which must be satisfied in their market.
This is precisely why we develop tailor-made solutions, according to the market we are aiming at, with a team of professionals specific to each industry. Thanks to this we can obtain maximum specialisation and offer tailor-made solutions in each project.
Some of the most relevant markets in the manufacture of special types of cables are the following:
1. Industry
As broad and diversified as the solutions you need. At Sumcab, we design special cables for automation, metallurgy, chemistry, pharmacy, food and beverages, packaging and many more. In addition, our cables can be used in different areas, from automated machinery to industrial robots or cable chains.
2. Construction and infrastructure
One of the largest markets for which we specialise in different cables depending on whether they are for residential, commercial, industrial or public building projects. Always with the criteria of utmost safety and reliability as priorities.
3. Renewable energies
The search for natural and inexhaustible energy sources also demands special cables that enable green energy to be usedin the most efficient and economical way possible. These cables are designed to reduce installation time and costs. They are specially designed with high standards of resistance to sun-induced degradation and durability.
4. Transport and mobility
Our involvement in this sector ranges from marine cables to cables for airports, cables for rolling stock, or Sumtraffic® cables for means of transport such as trains, subways or buses.
5. Communication, Telecommunications and Security
The demanding world of telecommunications welcomes the latest technology in the manufacture of special cables, in order to take advantage of the full potential of existing data centres, mobile networks, optical fibre installations or data transmission systems, among other solutions which, in the field of communication, have an ever-increasing presence.
