Aberdare Cables, a member of the Powertech Group, is a leading African manufacturer of cables anddistributor of electrical accessories. With manufacturing sites in three provinces of South Africa, and

offshore operations in Mozambique, Portugal and Spain, Aberdare Cables manufactures an extensive

range of electrical cables for application in power transmission, power distribution, rail, petrochemical,

mining, ports, airports, wholesale, construction and domestic building environments. Aberdare Cables

prides its self on its ability to identify and satisfy customer needs through development of innovative

products; unique, cost effective cable solutions for a wide range of industries. This and their extensive

project experience make them the supplier of choice for cable, electrical accessories (switches, sockets,

circuit breakers and reticulation) and special cable projects.

Aberdare Cables pursues on-going technology development programmes, and through active association

with its local and overseas affiliates, continues to remain at the forefront of technology.The company hasbeen recognised internationally as a pioneer in cable advancements. Aberdare serves on a number of

SABS and International Electro Technical Commission (IEC) cable working groups. As much as ten years

ago, in a move towards facilitating the provision of electricity for all countrywide, Aberdare Cables

designed products with an emphasis on cost efficiency of electrification.To this end, Aberdare created its

Electrodac range, which is aimed specifically at facilitating rural electrification by lowering the cost of

electricity delivery. More recently, in accordance with Siemens specifications, Aberdare produced an

unarmoured cable, with stringent fire characteristics, that was designed to reduce the propagation of fire

by cables.This cable is used at Eskom's open-cycle gas turbine generators at Mossel Bay and Atlantis.To

cater for international markets, Aberdare introduced fire survival cable with stringent properties that allow

continuous operationand circuitintegrityfor extended periods during a fire.

Aberdare Cables is a forerunner in the industry with regard to quality. The manufacturing, quality

assurance, testing and researchresources of Aberdare areof a world-class standard. In fact, the company

was one of the first companies in South Africa to be awarded the South African Bureau of Standards

(SABS) Quality Assurance Certification, and has been ISO 9001 compliant for many years. Aberdare

Cablesis UL listedand has Basec QA accreditation.

Aberdare has embraced the empowerment concept. Today, Izingwe Consortium owns 30% of the

company and the company has assisted in the development of a number of black enterprises, such as

DRUMCO, the company that makes Aberdare Cable Drums. At Aberdare, education, training and

development are seen as a foundation for economic productivity and as crucial tools to build empowered

and dedicated employees. In this regard, the company actively promotes and follows a number of

education programmes, including adult education, apprentices, trainees, learnerships and formal

education assistance.

Aberdare Cables has always been an activesupporter and pillar of strength for thecommunities in whichit

operates.The company is championing a number of social investment initiatives across our country.The

biggest of these investments has been the continuous sponsorship of Sinethemba home for street

children in Port Elizabeth.

As a proudly South African company, Aberdare participated actively in the development of the ICT charter

and the draft DTI BBBEE codes. Aberdare will continue to adopt a proactive approach to effect the

transformation that the codes specify and to lead the cable industry in this regard. We enjoy a BBBEE

status of Level3.
