Khorasan Electric Industrial Company

What Khorasan Electric Industrial Company does

Khorasan Electric Industrial Company (Afsharnejad) is a privately-held Iranian manufacturer of low voltage wires and cables, founded in 1966 in Mashhad by the late Ali Afsharnejad and operational since 1967. The company's product portfolio spans PVC-insulated and XLPE-insulated fixed installation cables (power, control, armored, shielded), flexible cables, halogen-free fire-resistant cables (N2XH with Mica tape/LSHF sheathing), heat-resistant cables rated to 100°C, building and earth wires, automotive wires (AVS/AVSS/T2/T3 compliant with PSA standards), aerial hard wires, telecommunications and instrumentation cables (with PIMF shielding), and coaxial cables (50/75 ohm, GHz range). Supporting products include PVC granules and masterbatches. Manufacturing spans three factories in Mashhad and surrounding industrial towns covering 40,000 square meters (30,000 sqm built), employing 450+ personnel, with annual capacity exceeding 30,000 tons. The company operates an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited in-house testing laboratory (licensed in 2013, accredited in 2015 under NACI/Lab/800) that provides electrical, dimensional, mechanical, thermal, and fire testing services to other cable manufacturers, standards offices, and customs authorities.

Revenue is generated through one-time sales of manufactured cable and wire products via two channels: a direct sales department handling B2B enterprise orders with formal VAT invoicing, and an authorized reseller network of 25+ resellers across major Iranian cities (Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, Qom, Ahvaz, and others). Pricing is quote-based and tracks global metal commodity prices in real time on the company's website, reflecting the copper/aluminum content-driven cost structure. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and targets both B2B customers (power distribution utilities, construction contractors, automotive OEMs, petrochemical/industrial operators, government and defense agencies) and B2C end users via resellers. Key enterprise customers include Iran Khodro and Saipa (automotive), regional electricity distribution companies across multiple provinces, Astan Qods Razavi (holy shrines), IRIB (broadcasting), Iran Defense Ministry, and Iran Aerospace Industries Organization. The company holds several regulatory credentials: ISIRI national standard certification, the first KEMA (Netherlands) low-voltage test type cable certification in Iran, ISO 9002/9001 quality management (SGS Switzerland, 2000/2001), CE marking on all products, and an R&D license from the Ministry of Industries and Mines (1992).
