COFICAB Group

What COFICAB Group does

COFICAB Group is a privately held Tunisian designer and manufacturer of automotive wires and cables, founded in 1992 by Hichem Elloumi as a member of the Elloumi Group. The company specializes in cable solutions for the four automotive megatrends — electromobility, connectivity, autonomous driving, and weight reduction — with a proprietary product portfolio including high-voltage EV cables up to 1500V (e-COF, e-COFPower+), charging cables (e-COFCharge), data cables for CAN FD/Ethernet/FlexRay (COFData), ADAS sensor cables (COFSense), miniaturized and aluminum-core lightweight cables (COFSkinny, COFAlu), high-temperature engine compartment cables up to 260°C (COFHeat), and flexible insulation systems (COFFlex). It also supplies specialized cables for trucks, appliances, medical, and distribution applications through a custom-tailor-made service.

The company's go-to-market is OEM-embedded and direct: it sells project-specific, quote-based solutions under multi-year platform contracts directly to global automotive manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers, with no public pricing and no distributor-led channel. COFICAB holds greater than 23% global market share in automotive wires and cables, supported by a workforce of approximately 8,000 employees and a manufacturing footprint of 16+ facilities across 11 countries on four continents (Tunisia, Morocco, Portugal, Germany, Serbia, Romania, North Macedonia, USA, Mexico, Honduras, China). Three R&D Centers of Excellence — in Tunisia (conductors), Portugal (insulation materials), and Mexico (SAE standards) — anchor materials science development, with certifications including IATF 16949 across all major production sites, ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001.

COFICAB's revenue mechanics are concentrated in B2B hardware sales to automotive OEMs and Tier 1s, with raw material supply secured via a multi-year renewed partnership with Aurubis (October 2024) for responsibly sourced and recycled copper. The company is privately held under founder control through the Elloumi Group, with no external institutional funding rounds recorded. COFICAB has set a 50% CO2 footprint reduction target by 2030 versus 2020 (scope 1, 2, and 3), positioning for OEM ESG procurement requirements, and is a member of the UN Global Compact and The Copper Mark. The company has earned consecutive Top Employer certifications from the Top Employers Institute across 6 countries for 2024, 2025, and 2026.
