Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
Tratos UK Ltd has won a Queen’s Award for Enterprise.
The British company collected the award for innovation from the UK’s leading award for business for its technologically advanced JBA® compound.
The Queen’s Award for Enterprise chose Tratos’ cutting-edge JBA® compound. This advanced compound can be modified to meet specific cable performance elements (e.g. safety, durability, extended operational life) to meet the requirements of several important industrial sectors.
The new technology brings significant advances for industries including Marine, Oil & Gas, Railways, and Mass Transit, as well as high-performance naval applications in several different countries. It positions Tratos as one of the leading UK cable manufacturers and holds the Made in Britain title.
British Standards Cables
Tratos also manufactures a comprehensive range of cables in accordance with British Standards Cables (BS) and the National and International cable standards, which are available upon request.
Tratos has the knowledge, experience and in-house R&D facilities to explore and create next-generation technology. Investment in innovation has positioned the company as a leading innovator within the Cable Industry worldwide, a privileged position in the markets in which it operates. In short, it is the ‘go-to’ company for cable solutions, whereas none currently exist.
Tratos manufactures a range of Fire Resistance cables designed to meet the latest standards for fire detection, alarm systems and emergency lighting.
Continuous investment in the UK cable manufacturer factory
The successful delivery of a five-year plan for investment and expansion at Tratos’ UK manufacturing facilities has seen significant growth in resources and capability – and the opening up of new market sectors for the company’s advanced cable.
In addition to increasing production efficiencies, with faster machines and a purpose-built factory, the company has been careful to invest in the professional development of its people.
