We invest heavily to ensure quality – ACL Cables

Having pioneered cable manufacturing in Sri Lanka since 1962, ACL Cables PLC, has continuously introduced impressive and cutting edge products to fill a portfolio that is unmatchable in the island. ACL Cables has held an undisputed leadership position in the region since inception with a product range that includes household and building wires, unarmed power cables, flexible cords and wires, aerial bundle cables, fire rated cables (sold as ACL Fire Guard) which was introduced for the first time in Sri Lanka, with improved quality parameters.

ACL Fire Guard has proved to be perfect for electrical installations in factories, hotels, commercial structures, homes at no extra cost. Talking about the product benefits, ACL Cables PLC Managing Director Suren Madanayake said that most fires originate owing to accidents, human errors and natural disasters and have a tendency to attack electrical installations first. They then easily spread through cables covered with ordinary PVC. ACL Fire Guard, however, is the only cable that prevents the spread of fire due to such accidents, keeping lives and property safe.

Madanayake explained, “We’ve invested millions of rupees in ensuring the quality of this cable and have established a comprehensive and fully fledged testing facility and laboratory for the product in Sri Lanka. ACL Fire Guard is manufactured through high technology and machinery, in order to deliver a fire rated cable that is comprehensively tested and comes with a certificate guaranteeing quality.”

According to Madanayake, the company was one of the first in the region to initiate such a strong product and one of the few who could maintain the quality as raw materials, such as PVC, are manufactured by ACL. “We also plan to invest in a copper rod manufacturing plant. This is a great accomplishment, not just for the company, but for the country as a whole given that we’re now on a forward march. We’ve proven that our vision goes beyond borders by providing some big companies around the world with high maintenance security through our cables,” he said.

Having understood excellence, quality and efficiency, ACL cables have won many leading international awards in recent times; ACL cables was the world class winner of International Asia Pacific Quality Award in 2008 in the Large Manufacturing Category and the National Quality Award in 2007. On the topic of market share, Madanayake believes that the company’s undisputed leadership position is attributed to the company’s ability to maintain the capacity of manufacturing reliable, quality products.
