Netherlands-based company BV Twentsche Kabelfabriek (TKF) has produced its first power cores in its new cable factory in Eemshaven.

The company produced three power cores for the type test cable, which were provided with the welded aluminum screen and PE outer sheath.

The investment in the new factory is part of the strategic investment plan to support electrification, TKF said.

“Our new facility allows us to increase our production capacity and represents our ongoing commitment to quality and innovation in the wind and cable industry,” said the company.

The company started the construction of this cable factory in December 2022, at the Beatrixhaven site. According to our previous news, the company will use the new factory to produce subsea cables to connect wind turbines from offshore wind farms to power stations.

The new facility complements TKF’s existing production in Haaksbergen and Lochem and has a substantially higher production capacity than the facility in Lochem.

The 7-hectare site is situated behind the heavy cargo quay in Beatrixhaven.
