No Cable – No Power
Bangkok Cable Co., Ltd. (BCC), Bangkok, Thailand
In the last decades, Thailand became internationally very famous
for its extraordinary economic growth. One basis for this success
is the Bangkok Cable Co., Ltd. (BCC), one of Thailand’s leading
wire and cable manufacturers. BCC’s fundamental business idea
has always been that electric wire and cable are the country‘s essential
power transmitting tools. In a company brochure this idea
is expressed in the short words: “No Cable – No Power”. Today,
BCC has a workforce of 720 persons who are busy in two factories
in Thailand and one in Bangladesh.
Continuous development
BCC was founded in August 1964. Since then a continuous
development programme has been realized
with the aim to apply always manufacturing equipment
and technology which comply with the current
state-of-the-art. Simultaneously, BCC has established
cooperation agreements with renowned wire
and cable manufacturers like Tatsuta and Hitachi of
Japan. Moreover, the production areas and the production
ranges of the two BCC plants based at Bangpakong-Chachoengsao
in Chachoengsao Province
and at Samutprakam in Samut Prakam Province have
been enlarged. Joint venture projects were realized,
like the Hitachi Bangkok Cable Co., Ltd. In the year
2007 the Bangkok Cable (Bangladesh) Limited was
Mr. Sompong Nakornsri,
President & C.E.O. of BCC
established which is specialized in manufacturing electric wires and
cables made of copper and aluminum to satisfy the growing demand
in Bangladesh.
Products and markets
In the beginning, BCC manufactured and distributed electric wires
and cables to supply mainly home building installations, concentrating
on meeting demands of provincial customers. Later the
company has expanded to include commercial and governmental
clientele among its predominantly Thai business, and has begun
marketing its products to Australia, the Philippines, Bangladesh,
and India. By means of modern production equipment
and a quality control system which corresponds
to international standards, BCC manufactures now a
wide range of copper and aluminum electric wires
and cables with or without PVC, PE or XLPE insulation.
Besides bare conductors, the production range
includes building wires and cables, low, medium and
high voltage power cables, control cables, as well
as fl exible wires and cables. BCC also makes
special fl ame-retardant, fi re-resistant, low smoke
halogen free and vermin proof cables. The annual
production capacity for copper conductors is about
100,000 tons and for aluminum conductors about
25,000 tons.
