Partnerships influence the way we serve, communicate, brainstorm, and continuously seek improvements. Collaborative innovation powerfully optimizes your top-line revenue, accelerates innovation, and leads to sustained success. Partnerships also involve taking responsibility beyond our daily business operations, promoting sustainability, and upholding business ethics.
R&D projects up to 50 times faster
We unite experts from cable making, machine-building, and material science to foster smart manufacturing, pushing boundaries further with our latest artificial intelligence solutions. Maillefer’s R&D Centers are open to our customers, material suppliers, and other stakeholders to explore the manufacturing limits in real production conditions. Furthermore, our advanced laboratory facilities enable immediate testing and expert analysis.
New materials
The XLPE power cable industry has seen a shift from AC-grades to DC-grades. Furthermore, developing Polypropylene as an alternative insulation material to XLPE is a key area of interest.
Maillefer is also proud to be part of NEWGEN, a powerful research initiative. We’ve teamed up with experts in materials, sustainability, analytics, and methods to envision the future of PP HVDC cables. This project unites ten European partners from five countries and is funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 program. The goal is to reach a level that enables the progression from basic research to the demonstration of working technology in an industrial environment.
