In Ethiopia, rising security concerns are linked to the inconsistent quality of cable products. Despite the presence of several electric cable manufacturing companies in the country, the production of low-quality raw materials remains a persistent issue, impacting both the sector and overall safety.

F&T Electric Equipment Manufacturer highlighted the increasing demand for electricity consumption and electric power transmission cables driven by Ethiopia’s construction, transport, and infrastructure projects. However, supply has not kept pace with demand. The company aims to address problems caused by the poor quality of cables amid this surge in demand.

The primary reason for the substandard quality of cables is the low quality of raw materials used in their production, according to F&T. Ensuring the quality of cable products is crucial not only for industry standards but also for mitigating associated security risks.

F&T, based in Sebeta, is committed to providing high-quality cable products to the Ethiopian market. The company is currently producing up to 300 tons of cable per month and is actively working to supply electrical cables and related products that meet market demands.

Last Saturday, F&T organized a panel discussion at the Sky Light Hotel with manufacturers, distributors, electrical engineering contractors, and experts from government institutions specializing in the power sector. The goal was to establish F&T as a leading cable manufacturing company in Ethiopia.

Foo, Managing Director of F&T, stated that the purpose of the panel discussion was to gather information on issues related to the transmission of electricity, resistance, and other cable-related concerns. This feedback will help F&T provide high-quality electrical cables to the Ethiopian market, meeting user needs and enhancing product reliability.

F&T has begun producing a range of standardized, high-quality electrical cable products to meet the growing demand driven by Ethiopia’s comprehensive infrastructure development projects. The company’s critical objective is to ensure the production of high-quality cable products, supporting the country’s expanding infrastructure needs.
