What Omerin does

Omerin is a privately held, family-owned specialty wire and cable manufacturer operating through two principal entities: the OMERIN Group, founded in 1959 and headquartered in Ambert, France, and its wholly-owned US subsidiary OMERIN USA, Inc. (QS Technologies Division), established in 1984 and operating a manufacturing facility in Meriden, Connecticut. The company designs and produces specialty wires, cables, and braided sleevings engineered for extreme temperature conditions spanning -190°C to +1400°C, using silicone, cross-linked elastomer, fluoropolymer, thermoplastic, TPE, and composite (mica tape / fiberglass) insulations.

The product portfolio is organized across 15+ registered brands, including SILICABLE (silicone elastomer insulated wires), SILIFLON (fluoropolymer insulated wires), CERAFIL (miniature ceramic insulated conductors), VARPREN (cross-linked elastomer), SILIFLAM (safety/fire-rated cables), ELECTROAIR (aerospace & defense), FLEXTRACE (electric heat tracing cables), and PLASTHERM (thermoplastic/TPE wires). Core product lines cover general wiring, high-temperature wires and cables (up to +450°C), highly flexible medium voltage cables, instrumentation and control cables, military-specification cables, thermocouple and RTD sensor cables, tray cables, custom industrial cables, high-temperature braided sleevings, and electric heat trace systems. The proprietary FLEXTRACE SR series heating cable achieves circuit lengths up to 12,000 ft from a single power supply point, and the CERAFIL miniature ceramic insulated wire received a World Innovation Technology Award.

The company operates a B2B direct sales model targeting enterprise customers through quote-based pricing, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is delivered through website-based product documentation, downloadable technical data sheets, LinkedIn, and direct inquiry/quote-request channels. Customer end-markets span aerospace and defense (primary), industrial equipment, appliance manufacturing, oil and gas (including submersible pump power cables and heat tracing), data centers, steel mills and power stations, and general industry and building. Manufacturing holds ISO 9001 certification and products carry UL/cUL listings (e.g., E93624, E101965, E517270), RoHS compliance, and military specification approvals, with multi-year supply contracts typical for safety- and specification-critical applications.
