BICC Group

What BICC Group does

BICC Group (operating through BICC Components Limited, a trading name of the India-based partnership M/S Apple International) manufactures and distributes a range of industrial cable glands (BW, CW, A2, E1W types in both standard and Low Smoke and Fume variants), cable cleats (aluminium, stainless steel, cast iron, and LSF variants) for short-circuit protection, and copper crimping terminals (SE and BM types) for switchgear and control panel applications. The underlying technology centers on mechanical compression (single and double compression) for cable entry sealing, with engineered features for hazardous-area flameproof/explosion-proof operation, EMC shielding with low transfer impedance, IP65-IP68 waterproof sealing via deluge seals and RAC ring technology, and food-grade hygienic designs, all manufactured under ISO 9001 certified quality management and built to BS 6121:2005, EN 62444:2013, and IEC 61238-1 standards.

The company serves industrial customers primarily in oil and gas, with secondary verticals in power generation and distribution, water treatment, mining, food and beverage, and marine applications. Products are sold via a direct, sales-led go-to-market through the company's website with a quote-request workflow (no e-commerce), with custom-made configurations available for specialist project requirements. Geographic reach spans Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and Asia through export channels, with the principal place of business in Mumbai, India, marketed under a UK-domain web identity to support international buyer confidence. The business model is fundamentally project-based B2B hardware sales, with multi-year contracts on major industrial installations and revenue dependent on a small number of enterprise buyers in capital-project-driven verticals.

Headcount is reported in the 11-50 range, and the company draws on over three decades of manufacturing experience. No public revenue, funding, or ownership disclosure beyond the partnership structure is available, reflecting its position as a privately held, founder/partnership-owned niche industrial manufacturer competing in a specification-driven category where certifications and durability credentials largely determine win rates.

Products and services

• Industrial Cable Glands Comprehensive range of industrial cable glands (BW, CW, CW Aluminium, A2 and E1W types) used for cable entry sealing, strain relief, earthing and insulation on electrical equipment. Sold to industrial buyers in oil and gas, petrochemical, power, water, mining and marine sectors.
• LSF Industrial Cable Glands Low Smoke and Fume (LSF) variants of the BW, CW, A2 and E1W cable glands, designed for reduced smoke and fume emission in case of fire and compliant with BS 6121:2005 and EN 62444:2013. Targeted at safety-critical industrial installations.
• EMC Shielding Cable Glands Cable glands with effective electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shielding features that protect cables from electromagnetic interference (EMI), offering the lowest transfer impedance and high current carrying capacity. For industrial buyers requiring EMI-protected cable entries.
• Waterproof Cable Glands Waterproof cable glands with IP ratings from IP65 to IP68, featuring deluge seal and RAC ring technology for protection against water and dust ingress. Used in water treatment, marine, and outdoor industrial installations.
• Copper Terminals / Lugs Copper crimping lugs and terminals including SE (Straight Entry) and BM (Bell Mouth) types, featuring an inspection hole for full conductor insertion and accurate die positioning during crimping. Designed for switch gear and control panel applications in industrial electrical installations, compliant with IEC 61238-1.
• Cable Cleats Cable cleats in aluminium, stainless steel (SS 316L), cast iron and epoxy-coated materials, in single-bolt, two-bolt, trefoil and quad configurations. Designed to restrain cables during short-circuit events, withstanding electromechanical stress that occurs within 0.005 seconds of a fault. For power generation, distribution and infrastructure cable management applications.

Broad incumbents

• Lapp Group: Lapp Group is a global manufacturer of cables, connectors, cable glands (Skintop), and accessories serving industrial automation and machinery. While its primary business is cable, its Skintop cable gland line competes directly with BICC and is widely specified in the same verticals.
• Weidmüller: Weidmüller produces industrial connectivity, including cable glands and conductor termination products, alongside its core electrical interconnection portfolio. Its Klippon and VGM gland ranges address the same hazardous and EMC-shielded gland applications as BICC.
• Thomas & Betts (ABB Installation Products): Thomas & Betts, now part of ABB Installation Products, produces a broad portfolio of connectors, terminations, cable ties, and fittings alongside its larger electrical products portfolio. Its copper terminals (e.g., Sta-Kon, Blackburn) and cable accessories cover the same SKU types as BICC's glands and lugs, but at global incumbency scale.
• Hubbell Incorporated: Hubbell manufactures electrical products including cable glands, cord grips, and hazardous-location fittings through its Hubbell-Killark and Hawke brands. Its broad portfolio of industrial electrical fittings gives it scale and reach advantage over BICC in many of the same accounts.
• Eaton (Crouse-Hinds series): Eaton's Crouse-Hinds division supplies explosion-proof cable glands, fittings, and enclosures for oil & gas and industrial hazardous areas. The certified, specification-driven gland range competes head-to-head with BICC in the same EPC and end-user accounts.

Direct peers

• Wiska (Wilhelm Focke): Wiska manufactures cable glands, cable entry systems, and lighting for industrial, marine, and rail applications. Its SPRINT, ESKV, and EMC product lines of brass and polyamide glands target the same cable-accessory use cases and geographies as BICC.
• Hawke International (Hubbell): Hawke International designs and manufactures cable glands, transit systems, and connectors certified for explosion-proof and harsh-environment use. Its hazardous-area gland range and the same BS/EN/IEC certification regime place it as a direct comp to BICC's certified gland offering.
• CMP Products: CMP Products is a leading manufacturer of cable glands, cleats, and associated accessories for hazardous and industrial environments. Its core range (Triton, A2, CW, barrier glands) and target verticals (oil & gas, power, marine, mining) overlap almost entirely with BICC's gland and cleat portfolio.
• Heyco Products (PennEngineering): Heyco manufactures cable glands, strain reliefs, and liquid-tight fittings for the electrical and industrial markets. Its Heyco-Tite, Polyamide, and EMC-shielding glands overlap with BICC's waterproof and EMC product families for OEM and enclosure-maker customers.

Emerging players

• Panduit: Panduit supplies cable ties, terminals, and increasingly cable management and accessory products for industrial and data-center applications. Its terminal and lug range overlaps with BICC's copper terminals and extends into data-center and industrial Ethernet adjacencies.
