Sumcab designs cables tailored for extreme conditions, high flexibility and critical applications, supporting OEMs from the development stage.
Barcelona, October 1, 2025. — Miniaturization, complex industrial environments, strict regulations and intense production rhythms define the context in which industrial machinery manufacturers operate today. For OEMs, designing this equipment is an exercise in advanced engineering, where every component must deliver performance, durability and regulatory compliance.
When downtime is not an option, the cable makes the difference: reduced space, exposure to extreme temperatures or the presence of chemical agents demand solutions capable of guaranteeing continuous, failure-free operation.
Cables designed to solve real challenges
Sumcab, a manufacturer specialized in industrial cabling solutions, offers an approach that combines a standard catalogue with the ability to design special cables for specific applications. This model enables OEMs to access solutions with features such as high flexibility —crucial in applications with intensive motion cycles— thermal and chemical resistance for extreme temperatures, shielded cables for environments sensitive to electromagnetic interference, or hybrid configurations that optimize space and reduce wiring complexity. When requirements go further —as in explosive atmospheres (ATEX), cleanrooms or autonomous vehicles— the company develops armored cables using certified materials that provide safety and reliability.
Technical collaboration from the design phase
One distinctive aspect of Sumcab’s working model is its co-creation in customer projects. When no standard solution meets the technical requirements of a new machine, Sumcab’s technical and commercial teams collaborate with OEM engineering departments to develop a bespoke solution.
This support is backed by in-house R&D centers distributed across the country, where new materials are researched, prototypes developed and tensile, bending, fire-resistance and torsion tests are carried out, thus ensuring the performance of each design.
Regulatory expertise and validation support
Regulatory compliance is a priority in highly regulated industrial sectors. Sumcab incorporates this knowledge into all development phases, supported by certifications such as ISO 9001:2015 (quality management) and ISO 14001:2015 (environmental management). This expertise facilitates approval processes, reduces validation times and provides OEMs with technical confidence.
“Often the cable is seen as a minor component, but its selection can determine the performance, service life and even the final design of a machine,” explain Sumcab’s technical team. “Our role is to ensure every OEM has the solution that best fits their application.”
Sumcab bases its offering on in-house manufacturing and control of the production process, which allows it to develop highly customized technical solutions. This industrial independence promotes the creation of cables truly designed for the demanded application and enables the ability to respond quickly to the challenges of sectors as demanding as those in which OEMs operate.
