Operating under the UNISTAR brand, the company caters to both domestic and international markets, providing comprehensive solutions for various industries.

These cables are offered in various voltage ratings (extra high, medium, and low voltage) and configurations, including aerial bunched cables. Their applications are extensive, spanning power transmission and distribution networks, railways, industrial plants (fertilizers, petrochemicals, steel, and chemical plants), submarine and underwater power transmission, mines, and power stations.

Beyond XLPE cables, UNIVCABLES manufactures a wide array of other cable types, including PVC power and control cables for use in diverse settings like utility networks, railway signaling, and industrial plants. They also produce winding wires, flat motor leads, and specialized cables for demanding applications such as trailing cables for mining, ship wiring, defense applications, and oil rigs. The company’s product portfolio also includes silicon rubber cables for high-temperature environments, fire-survival cables, and specialized cables for traction motors and wind energy generators.

UNIVCABLES' product offerings extend beyond cables to include a substantial capacitor business. This segment encompasses high and low-voltage capacitors, harmonic filters, surge protection capacitors, and automatic power factor correction panels. This diversification allows them to offer integrated solutions for power quality and management.

In addition to manufacturing, UNIVCABLES provides comprehensive engineering services, including turnkey project execution, system studies, energy audits, harmonic analysis, and testing and commissioning of high and low-tension capacitor banks. These services enhance their value proposition by offering customers complete solutions rather than just individual components.
