Cabling the way for KZN

Cabling the way for KZN

Date: 2014-02-21
Specialist cable manufacturer, Helukabel has opened a new sales branch in Durban to support the growing economic importance of industries in the KwaZulu Natal.

According to Helukabel South Africa managing director, Doug Gunnewegh, demand for all types of cable supplied by the company is booming throughout the region, and has grown to the point where it requires full-time, hands-on specialists to work with and advise customers on a daily basis. 

"We want to put our people closer to the action in this area and be in a position to give customers the kind of quality service that they deserve. The volume of cables that we are supplying into the area at the moment also definitely warrants our investment in local skills to further enhance business," says Doug.

Supplier of choice
He explains that after entering the South African market nearly four years ago, the German precision cable supplier has been inundated with orders for its quality cabling solutions. The East Coast is no different and there has been a marked increase in the requirement for the full spectrum of products offered by the company. The range includes industrial and infrastructure cables and wires, data network and bus technology, custom cables, accessories, robotics, fibre and installation tools. 

Speciality cables for applications as diverse as ports, railways, renewable energy, hygienic environments, and extreme temperatures etc can also be ordered and technical expertise is available locally and through global development centres to custom make cables to suit any application.

"Our strength is derived from our broad range, stock availability, technical expertise and ability to supply quality German-made products at an affordable price. Our cables also carry various European and other global approvals and certifications and in addition we will also commit to keeping sufficient stock of any specified cable where recurring orders are to be placed," says Doug

Local branch
The Durban branch will be staffed by experienced campaigners with an intimate knowledge of the cabling industry in KZN and surrounds. Paul Bester will assume the role of regional branch manager and is assisted by Irwin Moodley in sales. The branch is situated in Queensburgh.
