What Electro Cables does

Electro Cables Inc. is a Canadian manufacturer of low-voltage electrical and electronic cable products, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Trenton, Ontario. The company operates two manufacturing facilities in Canada and produces a comprehensive portfolio spanning building & industrial cables (AC90, TECK90, ACWU90, RW90, RWU90, NMD90, NMWU, TWU, VFD, bare wire), electronic and category cables (Cat 5e/6/6a, CMG, CMP, low-capacitance, Station Z/Quad), fire alarm cables, solar/PV cables (RPVU90 2000V), transportation & railway cables (CP-100 for Canadian Pacific, NFPA 130 life-safety, IMSA/MTO traffic signal, traction power), and component cables. The company also offers custom cable design — composite cables combining fibre optics, power and data circuits, armouring (galvanized steel and aluminum interlock, bonded tape), and advanced extrusion with Low Smoke Plenum and Zero Halogen compounds — supported by a technical sales and R&D team. Products are sold under sub-brands including ElectroSmart, ElectroPower, ElectroCom, ElectroRail, and ElectroControl, and are certified by CSA, listed by UL and Intertek (ETL), compliant with RoHS/REACH, and manufactured under ISO 9001:2015 (held continuously since 1994) with adherence to ANSI, AREMA, ASTM, ICEA, IEEE, IEC, IMSA, and NFPA standards.

The company operates a sales-led B2B go-to-market, distributing through full-line electrical distributors (primary channel), wire brokers (international reach), and direct OEM relationships, with a customer portal for account management and online quote requests. It targets three primary verticals: Infrastructure & Construction (building wire, power distribution, renewable energy, data center), Energy & Data Infrastructure (datacenter power, data communication, renewable energy, industrial automation), and Transportation & Transit (railway signal cables, transit power systems, traffic signal). Pricing is quote-based, with custom cable solutions requiring direct sales engagement and standard products available through account-based pricing. The company differentiates on quality/compliance, broad product portfolio, custom cable design, and on-time delivery supported by AI-Logistic tools and an in-house trucking fleet.

In December 2025, Electro Cables was acquired by Nexans S.A. (Euronext Paris: NEX) for approximately €125 million in LTM sales, fully financed in cash, with the deal expected to be EPS accretive from year one. The acquisition strengthens Nexans' PWR-Connect low-voltage solutions positioning in North America, targeting infrastructure, data center, and energy sectors. The company employs 101–250 people and continues to operate from its Ontario facilities under Nexans ownership.
