With increasingly expansion of towns and requirement of department of energy to the cable of higher voltage, SIMCO decided to produce extra high voltage up to 400kV. So that in 2008, SIMCO completely installed 400kV cable production line with the most advanced technologies in the world, and constructed quality control laboratory and bought other required instrumentation. In 2010, SIMCO successfully produced 230kV cable with cross section of 1600 mm2 of Milliken conductor and received type test of the cable from CESI Company.
Our high voltage laboratories with modern and updated equipments have capability of impulse test up to 1600kV and AC voltage test up to 400kV, that be used for HV and EHV cable tests.
Now SIMCO with over 45 years experience and 250 employees and a production capacity of 102,500 tones produce wire and cable according to national standard “ISIRI”, international standards such as “IEC” “BSI”, “JIS”, “VDE” and other standards.

For customer satisfaction, SIMCO installed the most advanced granule machinery, and can produce all type of PVC compound such as Low smoke, flame retardant, chemical resistance and rodent resistance.
Now, our various products are used in towns, industrial and residential plants, power plants, companies, oil and gas industries, regional electricity and distribution companies, petrochemical plants, steel great plants, water, gas and combined cycle power plants and etc.
R&D unit of SIMCO according to responsibility, publish scientific article, hold justification seminars and also scientific workshops for major consumers, regional powers, electricity distribution companies, universities and educational and training centers.
SIMCO is pioneers of receiving quality management system certificate “ISO 9001” from 1997, and have environmental certificate “ISO 14001” and Occupational health and safety “OHSAS 18001” from 2007. Also SIMCO have an accreditation certificate of laboratory colleagues from institute of standards and industrial research of Iran, and also have quality management system certificate “ISO/IEC 17025” from DAKKS institute (Germany) and product mark of VDE (Germany).
