Iranian Cable Factories

What Iranian Cable Factories does

Iranian Cable Factories (شرکت کارخانجات کابل‌سازی ایران), also known as Iran Cable Manufacturing Company, is a Tehran-headquartered, Tehran Stock Exchange-listed public manufacturer of electrical wire and cable products. Founded in 1965 as Iran Baika Cable Company and renamed in 1982, it operates a 5-hectare Tehran facility and a 22-hectare Shiraz manufacturing complex with 17,220 sqm of production halls and 10,800 tons of copper and telecom-cable capacity (expandable to 12,000 tons). The company is described as the first and largest wire and cable manufacturer in Iran and is one of only three domestic producers of 132 kV high-voltage cables. Its core product portfolio spans four families: low-voltage power cables, control and instrumentation cables, fiber optic cables (up to 144 cores, produced on a Rosendahl Austria line), and medium- and high-voltage power cables (XLPE-insulated, IEC 60840 / IEC 60502-1 compliant). The company serves five vertical markets: power distribution, communication systems, large heavy industries (petrochemical, steel, mining, chemical, metallurgical), transportation (rail and metro), and renewable energy (solar and wind). Revenue is generated primarily through direct B2B hardware sales of cables to enterprise and government-affiliated infrastructure customers, supported by two sales representatives (Sepehr Iranian Cable Company and Niroo Ramshir Engineering & Trading Company) and direct head-office and factory sales. The company maintains ISO 9001 certification and adherence to IEC and ISIRI standards.

Core offering

Iranian Cable Factories manufactures and sells electrical wire and cable products across four primary categories: Low Voltage Cables for distribution and motor applications, Control Cables for machinery and instrumentation, Fiber Optic Cables for telecommunications (up to 144 cores), and Medium/High Voltage Cables up to 132 kV for power transmission. The products are sold directly to industrial, utility, telecommunications, railway, petrochemical, and renewable energy customers in Iran and select export markets, with sub-variants covering armored, lead-covered, fire-resistant halogen-free, aerial bundle, and coaxial constructions manufactured to IEC and ISIRI standards.

Product overview

Iranian Cable Factories (کابل سازی ایران) is a manufacturer of electrical wire and cable products, operating as a single unified product portfolio rather than a platform-plus-modules architecture. The core product offerings consist of four main categories: Low Voltage Cables (power cables for distribution, lighting, and motor applications), Control Cables (for machinery control and signal transmission), Fiber Optic Cables (for communication systems), and Medium/High Voltage Cables (for power transmission above 30 kV). Within each category, there are multiple sub-product lines offering variations in insulation (XLPE, PVC), shielding (armored, lead-covered, screened), and construction (single/multi core, flexible/rigid conductors). The products are sold directly to industrial customers, utilities, and infrastructure projects. The company holds ISO 9001 certification and produces according to IEC and ISIRI standards.

Products and services

• Low Voltage Cables (کابل‌های فشار ضعیف) Power cables used for transmission in distribution lines, power stations, lighting systems, and electric motor propulsion, deployed in public and industrial networks for indoor/outdoor installations and burial. Sold as armored, lead-covered, aerial bundle, and overhead bare copper/aluminum (AAC/ACSR) variants to utilities, industrial operators, and infrastructure contractors.
• Control Cables (کابل‌های کنترلی) Cables used in machinery and production lines for measuring signals, controlling parameters, and equipment control for machinery, electromotors, and conveyors, with voltage ratings of 300/500V to 0.6/1kV and conductor cross-sections up to 2.5 mm². Installable outdoors, buried, indoors, and inside canals. Sold to heavy industrial operators (steel, petrochemical, oil & gas, mining, chemicals).
• Fiber Optic Cables (کابل‌های فیبر نوری) Fiber optic cables manufactured in single-mode and Non-Zero Dispersion Shifted fibers, available up to 144 cores, in buried (OBFC/OBUC), conduit (OCUC/OCFC), and self-supporting aerial (OSSC) configurations, including fire-resistant low-smoke variants. Sold to telecom operators, railway authorities, and metro operators for voice, video, and data transmission.
• Medium and High Voltage Cables (کابل‌های فشار متوسط و فشار قوی) High-pressure cables for power transmission in systems rated above 30 kV from power plants to central grids or primary distribution networks, for burial in ground or inside channels. Includes single-core XLPE-insulated (N2XSY, NA2XSY), armored (N2XSYRY/N2XSYBY/NA2XSYRY/NA2XSYBY), and lead-and-armored (N2XSYKYRY/N2XSYKYBY) variants with voltages U0/U(Um) from 26/45 to 76/132 kV and conductor cross-sections up to 1000 mm².

Broad incumbents

• Prysmian Group: World's largest cable manufacturer with deep HV, submarine, and fiber optic portfolios. Comparable as the global benchmark for the same product categories Iran Cable produces (LV, MV, HV, fiber optic, specialty cables), although Prysmian operates at far greater scale and global reach.
• Leoni AG: European manufacturer specializing in wires, cables, and wiring systems for industrial, automotive, and infrastructure applications. Comparable in terms of XLPE technology, control and instrumentation cables, and heavy-industry customer focus.
• Nexans: Global cable manufacturer with significant HV, fiber optic, and industrial cable exposure. Direct overlap with Iran Cable's product range, particularly in XLPE-insulated power cables up to 132 kV and fiber optic infrastructure, making it a relevant scale and technology benchmark.
• LS Cable & System: South Korea's largest cable manufacturer, producing LV, MV, HV, submarine, and fiber optic cables. Closest Asian peer in product breadth and HV cable positioning, serving utility, rail, and industrial customers similar to Iran Cable's target segments.
• Furukawa Electric: Japanese manufacturer of optical fiber, power cable, and telecom infrastructure products. Direct overlap with Iran Cable's fiber optic and HV product lines, particularly for telecom operator and railway infrastructure deployments.
• Sumitomo Electric Industries: Major Japanese diversified cable and wire manufacturer with strong HV transmission and fiber optic capabilities. Comparable for the same industrial, utility, and telecommunications customer use cases, particularly in Asia and emerging markets.

Direct peers

• KEI Industries: Indian manufacturer of power, control, and instrumentation cables serving industrial, infrastructure, and utility customers. Closely comparable product portfolio (including EHV cables) and target verticals (rail, metro, power distribution) overlap heavily with Iran Cable's positioning.
• Polycab India: India's largest cable manufacturer with broad LV, HV, control, and fiber optic offerings. Comparable product mix and emerging-market industrial customer base; useful as a regional benchmark for cable industry economics and growth.
• Yazd Cable (Kabel YAZD): Iranian domestic cable competitor producing low and medium voltage power cables, control cables, and aluminum conductors. Most direct domestic peer competing for the same state-affiliated utility, oil and gas, and industrial customers in Iran.

Regional players

• Pars Toche Investment Co. Iranian industrial conglomerate that historically held a major stake in Iran Cable Factories and is active in the domestic wire and cable sector. Relevant as a regional player with overlapping product categories and as a former shareholder/industry insider.
