Wire & cable challenges we help solve

Hybrid Cables
Rising demand for hybrid cables

The world needs cables that carry not just power, but also data. Teknor Apex focuses on helping the industry meet both demands. This is especially important as High-Voltage DC (HVDC) cables become more critical for bringing renewable energy sources like wind and solar into the grid. Our partners need solutions that perform reliably today and can adapt to future connectivity needs.

Cost Efficiency
Automation

There’s a growing push for automation across industries, helping create more consistent and resilient production. It improves productivity, maintains quality, reduces labor costs, and lowers safety risks. But adoption depends on cables that can hold up in tough factory environments. We work closely with our partners to develop custom materials that perform reliably even under the most demanding conditions.

sustainability
Sustainability & environmental concerns

As the Fourth Utility becomes more essential to everyday life, sustainability in wire and cable solutions matters more than ever. Teknor Apex is focused on developing materials that deliver strong performance while reducing environmental impact. Our durable polymers help extend cable lifespans, cutting down on the need for frequent replacements. We also offer more sustainable options, including BioVinyl® Flexible PVC made with a bio-based plasticizer and Cycle-Tek™ compounds produced with recycled materials.

Advanced color solutions for demanding cable applications

Teknor Apex color concentrates are engineered to support the performance, durability, and color consistency requirements of modern wire and cable applications. Designed for use across a range of polymer systems, our masterbatch solutions help manufacturers achieve reliable wire identification, consistent processing, and long-lasting color performance while supporting regulatory compliance. Backed by deep expertise in cable compounds, our colorants are formulated to withstand harsh environments without compromising key properties such as flame retardance, durability, and product integrity.

Think beyond cable: Sustainable solutions for data centers

When it comes to data centers cables – performance, safety and sustainability are critical. As a reliable and trusted partner to the wire & cable industry, Teknor Apex has a deep understanding of these criteria and has developed a broad portfolio of solutions to meet the most demanding application requirements.
