Wire & Cable ASIA – July/August 2012 16
Long-standing customer Danieli
Corporation has installed a broad
range of Tratos cables into Emirates
Steel’s recently expanded Abu Dhabi
plant.
HEPR insulated medium, low tension
and very high flexible cables for
inverter applications have been
supplied by Tratos, all manufactured in
the company’s Italian factory.
The cables have been used within
phase II B of Emirates Steel’s Dh9
billion expansion, which has seen
parent company General Holding
Corporation (GHC) become one of the
region’s largest steel manufacturers.
The plant’s new facilities will enable
Emirates Steel to increase its production
capacity from 2 million metric tonnes a
year to 6.5 million by 2015.
Italian company Danieli was the
turnkey engineering, procurement and
construction (EPC) contractor for
phase II B, which involved the creation
of a heavy section rolling mill – the first
of its kind in the Gulf Cooperation
Council – producing heavy section
beams and columns, channels, angles
and sheet piles, manufactured to
international standards. Tratos has
won a number of prestigious contracts
across the Middle East over the past
year and has recently opened an office
in Dubai through its subsidiary
company Modular Wiring Systems.
The new office allows Tratos to target
countries across the UAE and beyond,
providing a professional service and
support.
