ACL SINCE 1962


ACL is the largest manufacturer of cables in Sri Lanka having pioneered the industry in 1962. ACL holds 45% share of the local market and produces the widest range of cables in Sri Lanka. Today, ACL has grown to be a Group of companies holding 70% share of the cable market in Sri Lanka. ACL is the most sought-after brand of cables in Sri Lanka, having supplied 80% of the requirements of Duty Free projects owned by overseas investors and approved by the Board of Investment, beating foreign suppliers of cables. Of the 13 tallest buildings in Sri Lanka, 9 are wired with ACL Cables. In addition, all leading factories, hotels, commercial buildings and warehouses have used ACL Cables. ACL continues to innovate and lead the field in the introduction of new products, modern technology and machinery. In the four decades of tits existence, the Company has evolved as a specialized manufacturer and supplier of the widest range of quality cables and conductors in the country, while possessing the most advanced technology in the Asian region for the manufacture of low voltage Cross Linked Polyethylene cables (XLPE). international market. Professionalism, advanced know-how and technology, customer services have been the hallmark of ACL. Its quality concept is translated into every length of product through co-ordinated efforts of professionals on job.

ACL ON A SOLID FOUNDATION OF QUALITY AND ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY


From the inception ACL has been acquiring foreign technology for the development of existing and new products. At the inception of the company in the year 1962, ACL commenced operations with technical assistance arranged through the Colombo based liaison office of Mitsui. The Japanese engineers who installed machinery and operated them laid a solid foundation of Quality at ACL. Thereafter, ACL joined hands with two cable companies in India to establish the manufacture of Aluminum Conductors and Armored Cables. One of the companys most notable technology transfer agreements in recent times have been with NOKIA Cables of Finland for the manufacture of XLPE Insulated Cables, Aerial Bundled Cables and Aluminum Alloy Conductors. Having obtained technology from NOKIA on two occasions in the years 1989 and 1993, ACL upgraded its technology on XLPE insulated Aerial Bundled Cables to surpass National French Standard NFC 33-209 in the year 1998 through its own Research and Development. This is a feat not matched in the region by any other manufacturer. The technology so achieved is employed in the manufacture of XLPE insulated Armored and Unarmored power cables and All Aluminum Alloy Conductors. These developments offer many benefits to valued customers and in order to highlight those benefits it was decided to name all our XLPE insulated cables under the brand name Power-X. Having obtained ISO 9002 certification in the year 1998, ACL was awarded the prestigious ISO 9001:2001 certificate in the Year 2002. In the same year ACL was awarded ISO 14001:1997 Environmental Management System Certification.

CONCEPT AT ACL
Modern industries and technologies have opened forth a wide range of endeavors and ventures in the Island of Sri Lanka. ACL ushered a new era in power sector and dedicated itself to the cause of transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy for all cross sections of the country. With a rich heritage of over four and a half decades, ACL offers its products, which not only meet the stipulated requirements of the governing National and International specifications, but far exceeding them. E x c e l l e n c e t h r o u g h To t a l Q u a l i t y Management is the catchword at ACL. Since its inception ACL has striven not only to upgrade the product quality but to bring in to practice superior management of men to make its place in the

TECHNOLOGICAL DEVLOPMENT OF AAC, ACSR AND AAAC


All Aluminium Conductors
Being the pioneer cable manufacturer in Sri Lanka, ACL not only pioneered the cable industry but also the pioneered the manufacture of each and every single cable and conductor manufactured and marketed in Sri Lanka. This is the reason why it is no surprise that ACL joined hands with Alind of India in 1981 to manufacture and sell 1400 metric tons of All Aluminum Conductor (AAC Fly 7/3.4m) to Ceylon Electricity Board pioneering Aluminum Conductor manufacture in Sri Lanka. With this ACL commenced a long march towards mastering the technology for Aluminum Conductors Steel Reinforced (ACSR), Aluminum Alloy Conductors (AAAC), Aluminum Conductors Aluminum Clad Steel Reinforced (ACSR/AC) for voltages ranging from 1 kv to 750kv in addition to Aluminum Cables. ACLs technical superiority for AB Cables was recognized by the largest corporate in India and in 2003 and they invited ACL to Design and introduce AB Cables to BSES or the Power Distributing Authority of New Delhi. Since then ACL supplied more than US$ 12 million worth of AB Cables to BSES, JVVN Jaipur and DISCOM of Orissa.

Establishment of Furnace for ageing of Aluminum Alloy


The benefit of AB Cable for the development Conductor technology was realized in 1993 when ACL entered in to a second Joint venture agreement with NOKIA Cables of Finland to acquire technology for the Drawing and ageing of Aluminum Alloy which is an integral part of AB Cables. A furnace was set up for this purpose. Since then ACL commenced the supply and manufacture of All Aluminum Alloy Conductors (AAAC) and in 1996 it exported AAAC and Aerial Bundled Service wire to Rural Electrification Board of Bangladesh. Up to 2008, ACL has manufactured more than 25,000 km of AAAC for use either in AB Cables or as bare conductors. Today, ACLs prowess in Aluminum Conductor technology and AB Cable Technology is well recognized in the region and is exporting same to Australia for transmission lines ranging from 220kv to 330 kv.

Securing of Aluminum Alloy Technology


ACL in 1988 entered into a Technical Corporation Agreement with NOKIA Cables of Finland to manufacture and supply 850 km of XLPE insulated Aerial Bundled Cables (AB Cables) to Lanka Electricity Company (LECO) which was moving in to the new product replacing bare Aluminum Conductors (AAC). AB Cables are in fact made of AAC and AAAC conductors insulated and bundled together using advanced process and design technology. ACL was very fortunate that it got involved itself with LECO who in turn was supported by Beca Worley of New Zealand at that time to rehabilitate and modernize distribution system which was heavily losing power due to dilapidated condition of the network. All the above helped ACL to master AB Cable technology and installation practices surpassing all manufacturers in South and South-East Asia. In 1998 through internal Research and Development, ACL surpassed the most comprehensive and stringent standard for AB Cables which is the National French Standard NFC 33 209. This is considered a remarkable feat since only a handful of manufacturers in South East Asia had mastered. None in South Asia has achieved this standard.

Standards
ACL has been developing its capabilities to supply conductors to various international standards. In addition to Sri Lankan Standards, ACL use following International Standards to manufacture Conductors. British Standards; BS EN Standards; IEC Standards; Australian Standards; DIN Standards ASTM Standards

Aluminium Rod Plant


ACL in its march towards becoming a giant in Transmission and Distribution Conductor and Cable technology made one of its most prudent investments in 2007 to set up a plant for Aluminum and Aluminum Alloy rod. This has been a very successful story and today, it is in the process of delivering carefully controlled grades of Aluminum to further enhance the quality of Finished Conductors. The establishment of a

comprehensive laboratory and its proximity to the Aluminum conductor plant continues to enable ACL to develop finest quality control in the manufacture of Conductors and development of newer grades of Aluminum and Alloy. Delivering first class products at a competitive price is just what the customers need and ACL is now well set for same. The capacity of the rod plant is nearly 24,000 metric tons per annum in full swing.
