It's hard to imagine any electrical work without electrical cables. Every installer should have access to cables that are solidly made and resistant to various negative factors. In all this, the price is important, which is especially important when purchasing a large number of cables. To make the choice easier, we have prepared a ranking of electrical cable manufacturers!
Telefonika - a well-known brand not only in Poland
Telefonika is by far the largest manufacturer of cables and wires not only in Poland, but also in Central and Eastern Europe. It is no coincidence that Telefonika has branches in many different countries - apart from Poland, also in Germany, Slovakia, Serbia, Lithuania and Ukraine. However, this area is not limited only to the central and eastern regions of the old continent, because subsidiaries are also located in developed countries such as the USA and Great Britain. All this makes Telefonika famous for its very large exports to over 80 countries around the world. The product range includes approximately 25,000 cables and wires, so depending on your needs, it is easy to find what you are looking for.
The offer includes copper, aluminum and fiber optic electrical cables used by leading global companies from various sectors: telecommunications, shipbuilding, energy, electronics, mining. Telefonika is valued for the absolutely highest quality of its products. They are characterized by long service life and reliability. This also results in their relatively high price.
NKT - strong competition for Telefonica
NKT is considered by many experts to be the best on the market. Founded 130 years ago, it guarantees not only extensive experience and knowledge, but also a wide selection of various electrical cables. It is characterized by extraordinary reliability, suitable for various tasks, regardless of the place of use. However, it should be noted that there is a price to pay for exceptional quality. NKT currently produces the most expensive electrical cables on the market, however, if we take into account what can be gained in return - not only enormous resistance, but also ease of use - we see where this cost comes from. Electricians praise them especially because of their insulation, which allows the cables to be installed at an angle of 90 degrees.
Elpar - dynamic development in recent years
Another Polish manufacturer - Elpar - can boast of quite a long experience on the market, over 30 years. The development of this company has accelerated especially in recent years, especially since 2012. What stands out the most is the attention to detail, thanks to which the batches of Elpar electrical cables are equally well made and are characterized by the same quality mark. And at the same time, their price is lower than competing brands, such as those described above - Telefonica and NKT. The company focuses on development, recently focusing its activities on improving production efficiency and increasing the number of manufactured products, which has allowed it to significantly strengthen its position on the market. Moreover, the company continues to expand its research and development infrastructure and machinery, which will make its position even stronger. Perhaps Elpar will threaten the hegemony of two big players - NKT and Telefonica?
Prysmian - global leader
Prysmian is a global leader in the production of cables and cable systems. Headquartered in Italy and with an expanded presence around the world, Prysmian is recognized in the cable industry thanks to its long history and advanced technologies. The company specializes in providing cable solutions to many markets, including energy, telecommunications, industry and transportation. Its innovative approach to cable development and continuous pursuit of excellence make Prysmian a trusted partner in providing reliable and effective cable solutions around the world. By entering the growing optical and power cable market, Prysmian plays a key role in shaping the future of communications and power transmission.
Electrical cable - which brand to choose?
Now you can ask the question what electrical cables to choose - whether to use proven solutions from NKT and Telefonica, i.e. brands with an extremely strong position on the market, or maybe take an interest in less known entities, such as Elpar. It is impossible to answer this question unambiguously, because each time during electrical installation, we have to calculate everything carefully, taking into account the scale of the investment. Certainly, what is proven is the best, but as we showed in the article - these lesser-known companies are also inferior in this respect.
