Concept Cables
Electrical wires and optical fibers
Company Overview and Specialisation
Concept Cables Ltd operates as an independent, UK-based cable manufacturer, leveraging extensive experience within the cable industry. A dedicated team of professionals provides comprehensive cabling solutions across a diverse range of sectors. The company distinguishes itself through its ability to design and manufacture bespoke cables tailored to specific customer requirements, utilising proprietary software for precision engineering.
Bespoke Cable Manufacturing and Capabilities
The company's offerings span a broad spectrum, from simple cables with colour-matched jackets to highly complex, dynamic tow cables for nuclear submarines, military communications cables, and harsh-environment trailing cables. Concept Cables Ltd can execute projects from design and prototyping through to full manufacture, including build-to-print services. A key capability is the production of short runs of bespoke cables, with minimum lengths as low as 100 metres (305'). While primarily focused on manufacturing 'raw' cable without connectors or terminations, the company maintains close relationships with top connector and termination specialists and can facilitate these aspects as needed.
Commitment to Quality and Industry Engagement
Concept Cables Ltd is ISO9001:2015 registered, demonstrating a strong commitment to quality and continuous improvement. Their quality system also complies with military requirements under AQAP2110, ensuring full traceability of all materials. Ongoing investment in advanced manufacturing and test equipment supports their high standards. The company actively participates in key industry events such as Subsea Expo, Oceanology International, and Ocean Business, highlighting their presence and engagement within the subsea, marine, and ocean technology sectors. The company also upholds various corporate policies, including Anti-Slavery 'n' Human Trafficking, Environmental, Health 'n' Safety, and holds a Cyber Essentials Certificate.
Strategic Growth and Operational Enhancement
In a significant move towards strategic growth and operational efficiency, Concept Cables Ltd has acquired a four-acre plot adjacent to its main facility in Blandford Forum. This expansion aims to consolidate operations from three remote sites into a single location, which is expected to enhance manufacturing process flow, reduce inter-site vehicle movements, and thereby lower the company's carbon footprint. The refurbishment and extension of existing buildings, alongside the construction of a new office complex, are underway, with a phased relocation planned for completion during 2022. This consolidation is designed to create a more streamlined and responsive manufacturing environment, fostering stronger team collaboration and skill development.
