Piotr Ortonowski on 11 Oct 11Electrical wire and cable manufacturer Eurocable Group announced that it has began production of copper wire at its plant near Zagreb as part of a push for the vertical integration of its business. The company is one of the few manufacturers of electrical wire and cable in Europe to launch in-house production of copper wire from copper cathodes. Eurocable Group's in-house production will fully cover the company's needs for 8 mm copper wires, thus cutting operating costs and making external suppliers redundant. The copper cathodes that will be processed at the Jakovlje site will be procured from companies that are members of the LME. Production will initially focus on meeting only the needs of the Eurocable Group itself.
