Australian manufacturer of custom cables and complex wiring harnesses Cablex has opened an office in Warsaw, Poland to take advantage of growing European market opportunities.
Poland has embarked upon an ambitious armed forces modernisation program and the government is planning to spend $45 billion over the next decade.
Cablex CEO Michael Zimmer said the decision to establish a presence in Poland was largely due to growing market opportunities and increasing demand from Cablex customers across Europe.
“Poland has a large aerospace sector and major global players have already established manufacturing sites in Aviation Valley located in Southern Poland - Sikorsky/Lockheed Martin, Leonardo, Airbus, Safran, Pratt and Whitney, to name a few.”
Zimmer said the office will focus on providing mechanical and electrical systems solutions for the aerospace and defence industrial sectors while also servicing local and international customers.
“We see enormous benefits for our international customers with the new site being in close proximity to their supply chains in Europe,” he added.
Cablex sees itself as a highly accredited ‘one stop shop’ for both complex and standard cable solutions, with flexibility, agility and world class expertise that ensures the production of cost competitive quality products and solutions.
The company has significant experience in developing and manufacturing electrical systems for harsh environments and developing solutions where electrical noise is a critical factor. Cablex also offers bespoke end-to-end world-class engineering support and C4I systems engineering and integration capabilities.
In June 2017, Cablex received Airbus Helicopters’ Best Global Supplier Award for industrial performance.
