Midal Cables Ltd.

Profile

Midal Cables Limited was established in 1977 conceived between Intersteel, Bahrain and Olex Cables, Australia to manufacture Alumimium Rod and Overhead Electrical Transmission Cables, Conductors.

Since then, the company has developed into a significant player in the Alumimium and Electrical Transmission Industry in Kingdom of Bahrain. Its growth has contributed to the industrialization of Bahrain and Gulf countries while promoting a national skilled workforce within the company.

Midal supplies the world market with Rod Cast from the molten Alumimium delivered directly from Alumimium Bahrain (ALBA) Smelter adjacent to its manufacturing plant. The liquid Alumimium is exceptionally pure which allows Midal to cast Rod and further production of Wires an exceptionally high conductivity in various grades of Transmission Cables. Midal's EC grade and 6201 Alloy Rod are sold around the world as well as being used in-house to manufacture a full range of Overhead Electrical Conductors and Aluminum Wires.

Midal has participated in numerous transmission and distribution projects, meeting the most stringent technical standards and supply requirements. Midal has continued a policy of investment in the most up-to-date Technology its manufacturing plant and has put a great emphasis on work force training to ensure the technical excellence to manufacture its products.

Over 36 Years of Success, Midal Cables Limited is still looking forward for continuous growth and improvement of its business processes.

Midal's quality starts with exceptionally pure high grade liquid Aluminum delivered to our furnaces. Immediately on delivery, the molten metal is tested for its purity on spectrum analyzer. Depending on alloying requirement necessary alloy element get mixed in furnace and further tested for alloying compositions. The melt is channeled from the furnaces onto continuous rotating copper casting wheel where in the process it partially get cool and solidifies into a continuous aluminum alloy bar. The bar is then passed straight into a no twist rolling mill to reduce it to a 9.5 mm and 12 mm diameter Rod which is coiled and ready for further wire drawing process.

In operating Five Rod production lines, Midal ensures that the highest quality EC grad and Alloy Rod is produced for Conductor manufacturing. The finished Rod is carefully selected for correct tensile strength and conductivity after 100% Destructive Testing on Tensile Testing and Conductivity testing Machines.

Alumimium or Alumimium Alloy Rod is drawn to the correct wire size on Wire Drawing Machines partially submerged in oil to give the wire a mirror finish. The finishing die, the last die in the wire drawing process, rotates uniformly to ensure perfect round wire. The wire is wound onto a bobbin which is passed through strandards. Each bobbin in strander is controlled by brake to maintain uniform longitudinal tension on the wire throughout the stranding process. These processes get more straighter and uniform cables of higher quality.

Midal Cable is proud of our rigorous quality control system. It ensures the highest quality standard for our end products from its entire supply chain management by keeping its testing results for possible traceability.

Midal has a fully equipped testing laboratory, we spectroanalyze the input molten aluminum for its purity, carry out tensile, elongation, wire wrap test and conductivity as required by various International Standards and Specification or Special Customer's demands. In addition Midal's highly experience personnel carry out many other online tests at each stage of production to eliminate any product defect.

Midal's quality management system has been instituted to give the customer total satisfaction.

History

Midal Cables is a success story born in 1977, conceived between Intersteel, Bahrain and Olex Cables, Australia.

Its aim was to evolve the degree of industrial self sufficiency in the Middle East by leading the way in Manufacturing of High Voltage Overhead Electrical Conductors, Aluminum and Alloy Rod. The seal of approval was given in 1977 when the factory and the plant reached completion. The Prime Minister, Shaikh Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa formally open the premises.

From the outset Midal has stood by its company philosophy, "Setting the Standards that others can follow" . A philosophy that paid the rich dividends, not only in its success, but also in forging strong relationships.

Proof that Midal is continuously "Setting the Standards" can be seen by an impressive record of first in innovations. The introduction of an Alumimium Alloy Rod line in 1987. The first receipt of the ISO 9002 Certification (International Standards Award) for dedication to the quality of manufacturing Rods, Wires and Conductors in the Gulf. The first in the gulf to manufacture and deliver the New ACSS Conductors. Becoming the first company outside North America and Europe to manufacture the next generation ACCC Aluminum Conductors with a Composite Core in 2006,. Midal is dedicated to bringing new energy efficient measures to its customers to reduce carbon emissions and improve their profitability. The New ACCC conductors combine high thermal operating temperatures with lower losses and high efficiency. This reaffirms Midal's position as a market leader in the development and production of Alumimium Alloys and leader in the industry for New Technologies.

It is through its achievement and its continual dedication to quality that Midal is now one of the Bahrain's foremost privately owned companies, dedicated to contributing to the economy of Bahrain, while promoting a national skilled workforce within the company.
