Amokabel

- Success story

 

Cable manufacturing since 1992 

The first company in the Amokabel group was established in 1992. By focusing on technological development and modernisation, we have organically managed to build a very profitable and successful group. Our constant pursuit of growth has resulted in several new companies active in the manufacturing and distribution of cable. At the same time, we have invested in renewable energy; solar power, wind power and hydro power. Amokabel has today a total production area of 30 000m². Amokabel head office and production site are located in Alstermo, a village in Småland 70km from both Växjö and Kalmar in the southern part of Sweden.

Global expansion

Initially, Amokabel engaged solely in sales in Sweden. Today, the majority of sales are export sales. Together with our own sales offices and extensive agent and distribution network, we always have a global presence. For example, we supply many of the world's largest airports with cable, and our unique, coated, overhead cables electrify several countries in Asia. Our consumer-packaged installation cable can be purchased in most stores in Scandinavia.

Flexibility and short lead times

We run our business based on the following guiding principles:

  • Innovation
  • Flexibility
  • Quickness

First and foremost, our business is characterised by innovation. Everything starts with an understanding of the needs of customers or consumers. This insight guides innovation efforts on how we can improve existing products or satisfy new needs. The need for cable is constantly changing and modern times require new solutions. Structures, conductors, plastics and packaging are evaluated constantly and are continuously changing.

Unlike our competitors, we can produce in a short time and according to specific customer volumes. We have low requirements for minimum volumes and we can easily reset production for a quick delivery. Several of our 500 customers have special requirements regarding volume or packaging and we are the only player in the market that can meet these needs.
