Cables are high flyers at Frankfurt
Sikora Asia has established a second office in Suzhou/China,
situated in a highly industrial area close to Shanghai.
Wanbin Chen, head of Sikora Asia, is confident about the
business expansion: “We decided for the additional sales
location to be more flexible and able to specifically address
and attend customers on time. Our customers can expect
a more convenient service with lower service costs, due to
shorter travelling distances.
“As we also engaged new employees we can more profoundly
react to individual customer needs and most of all we can
improve the information flow with them.
“Simultaneously, our objective in establishing a second
office here is to raise awareness about our products and to
convey Sikora’s company image of future-orientation,” Chen
explained.

For decades, Network and Safety system
solutions from Dätwyler Cables have been
used at Frankfurt Airport, and for much of
the latest new building and expansion
work, Dätwyler Cables will again be
supplying the installation companies on
site with cables, components and services
from its nearby European distribution
centre.
Frankfurt Airport is one of the largest
hub airports in Europe, handling roughly
500,000 flights and 50 million passengers
every year. Airport operator Fraport
AG is constantly expanding capacity
at Frankfurt Airport and there are
many construction projects from other
developers such as Lufthansa, Deutsche
Bahn and several logistic companies and
hotels.
Applications already using Dätwyler
Cables range from office communications
and connections for counter, display and
card-reading devices to access control
and the traffic management system.
Safety systems and fire prevention are
essential. To ensure that all electrical
equipment will function reliably in
the event of a fire, many safety cable
installations are provided by Dätwyler
Cables. These include halogen-free
ceramic cables with functional integrity,
as well as tested connection, support, and
mounting components.
After re-cabling the A380 maintenance
hangar, Dätwyler is providing systems for
Hall C in Terminal 1, the fire prevention
enhancement projects in Terminal 2, the
connection between these terminals, the
expansion of various car parks and the
new Gateway Gardens neighbourhood.
Contracts include training and consulting
services to the installation companies.
Dätwyler Cables solutions are tested
beyond the standard technologies of
DIN 4102-12, and are fully compliant with
the demands of modern construction
technology whilst also saving time and
money.
