More than 45 years experience, proficiency and innovation in wire and cable industry
SIMCO Company was initiated producing wire and low
voltage cable in Tehran in 1968. In order to development and use of modern
technology, the factory moved to Rasht (Gilan/Iran) in 1975 and operated with
nominal capacity of 15,000 tons per year and with an area of 150,000 m2 including
40,000 m2 production plants, official departments and laboratories.
At that
time, SIMCO meet the develop and produce needed goods for country and related industries.
After required preparing and purchase of related machinery, at the end of 1997,
the production line started in Iran for the first time and produced 20kV cable
using gas curing technology. After that, in 1998, SIMCO produced 63kV cable for the first time in Iran and received type
test from Kema international laboratory (Netherland) and so received first
ranking award for first producer of 63kV cable in Iran.
Also
in 2000, in order to industrial innovation and self-sufficiency, SIMCO
continued R&D activities for production of 132 kV cable. And finally, in
2002, SIMCO successfully produced first 132kV cable in Iran. In 2003, SIMCO
received Kema type test certificate for 132kV cable to ensure the best quality
of the products and eliminated the dependence of other country and import.
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.
