Tratos in the world
Founded in 1966 among the bonny Tuscan hills of Pieve Santo Stefano, Trafilerie Toscane later gave birth to the TRATOS Group and over the years, through acquisitions and mergers, to the Holding of the Bragagni-Capaccini family. A great deal of work and a lot of commitment towards research, innovation, sustainability, services and the professional education of its employees. Today, thanks to that great work, that constant commitment and the fundamental principles of the same family, the Tratos brand and its products can be found all over the world. Read more

Key points
Since manufacturers of electric and telephone cables adopted the initial Quality Control logic in 1987, TRATOS CAVI immediately obtained its ISO 9002 certification (BASEC – British Approvals Service for Cables) and ISO 9001 in 1993. Everything can be improved; this principle guides the Group when assessing its daily results. Read more
CPR
The CPR Regulation allows assessing the reaction to fires of construction products throughout the European Union, allows comparing different manufacturers from different countries, verifying how the product is introduced on the market, how its performance is declared and the conformity assessment system. All TRATOS products subject to CPR are meticulously tested to meet the requirements of Class C or higher, and most polymeric electrical cables fall into classes B2 to E. Based on the Construction Products and Fire Reaction Regulations, the Tratos®Waveform LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) multicore cable has obtained the B2ca-s1a,d0,a1 classification. Read more
Fireproof cables
In the United Kingdom and in Italy, the fire testing systems are the latest generation ones and the various tests, which are always passed brilliantly and in line with international standards, allow a very high-level production to the satisfaction of the company but above all, of our customers all over the world. As an innovation-oriented company, Tratos has considered it essential to invest in structures for the various safety tests, paying specific attention to the systems that manage the different firefighting tests (tests for voltage, spark, resistance, as well as more extensive tests for elongation, thermal shock, shrinkage and vertical flame).

Icephobic cables
The formation of snow and ice sleeves, which occurs in extreme weather conditions, on the conductors and the safety cables of high-voltage power lines can affect their mechanical resistance with consequent disruption of the electrical system. The patent concerns the application of a coating on the safety cables and conductors to mitigate snow and ice sleeves forming on the conductors and safety cables themselves. The new cable concept developed by Tratos was designed taking into account both the functional features of the item and those of its actual industrial production. Read more
Sustainability
The plastic and cable industries need to move to a circular business model, and to get there, we are making iterative strides forward. With a range of products made with different types of plastic waste, Tratos extends its commitment to the circular economy and its value chain while marketing innovative and more sustainable solutions. The benefits are numerous in terms of circular economy as it helps to cut CO2 emissions over using virgin material. Read more
