With a growth strategy that moves
beyond technology and materials for
wire and cable jacketing, insulation,
semi-conductive and speciality
compounds for the power and
telecommunications markets, Dow Wire
& Cable has made the decision to change
its business name to Dow Electrical &
Telecommunications.
This is an important step for a business
already focused on power and
telecommunications cable technology
to further fortify its commitment to
bring material science solutions to these
industries and markets.
Recent advances in bio-based chemistry
have enabled the business unit to play
a larger role in personal electronics,
appliance, transportation and building
and construction markets.
“Electricity and electrical components are
a common denominator across all power
and telecommunications resources. After
six decades serving these important
markets, the time is right to leverage the
Dow portfolio in an even wider capacity
to bring new technology and products
to market,” said Tim Laughlin, general
manager.
“Beyond this organic growth, we also
are exploring several potential alliances
with companies whose products and
experience enhance or complement our
own.”
The Dow Chemical Company has an
R&D and materials science heritage that
is rich in solutions enabled by plastics,
composites, additives and fluids.
Combining these assets with Dow
Electrical & Telecommunications
knowledge and expertise, along with
those of other strategic partners, creates
a significant opportunity to bring even
more value to the growing and dynamic
power and telecommunications markets.
