12 Wire & Cable ASIA – March/April 2007
Teaming up across the Atlantic!
America’s Dynamex Corporation and the UK’s RG
Attachments have joined forces to share trade leads and
promote each other’s services. Dynamex, based in
California, USA, is a leading supplier of cable manufacturing
equipment, and specialises in tape pay-offs.
With more than 30 years’ experience in the wire and cable
industry, their innovation and skill is clearly identified by
their patented universal auto-splicing tape pay-off system.
RG Attachments Ltd, based in Leicester, UK, manufactures
tapeformers, which are used for wrapping tapes around
cable cores.
The RG tapeformer folds the tape around the cable core
before it enters the final jacketing stage. Tapeformers are
used with various tape materials including Mylar, metalised
foils, water-blocking and paper. Tapeformers can be used
for a range of tape widths from 5mm-210mm and are made
to individual customer specifications.
The tape pay-off and tapeformer are applicable to all cable
extrusion lines with longitudinally applied tape. The tape
pay-off system offered by Dynamex gives the user an
uninterrupted run of tape with the ability to switch pads
automatically without disruption to production.
The tape is then fed through the RG tapeformer which
folds it around the cable core, with a variety of folding
profiles available.

New offices in Australia and New Zealand
Borouge – one of the leading providers of innovative plastics
solutions in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific – has opened
full sales and service offices in Melbourne, Australia, and
Auckland, New Zealand.
With Borouge’s state-of-the-art production facility and its
parent company, ADNOC both based in the United Arab
Emirates, the timing of Borouge’s growth is appropriate, as
the UAE is entering into a free trade agreement with Australia
that will incorporate all Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
The UAE and Australia began negotiations on the free trade
agreement a year ago, and Australia could become the UAE’s
third free trade partner after the United States and Singapore.
