Since 1935, African Cables, now CBI-electric: african cables, has designed and manufactured a comprehensive range of electric power cables at its Vereeniging factory. The growth of its manufacturing facility has consistently met local demand for product, while technological advancement has remained abreast of international trends. Today, the company employs over 800 people and is a leader in the South African cable industry.
In June of 2006 Reunert redefined the brand identity of its electrical companies under the central brand of CBI-electric.
Apart from manufacturing, there is a division within CBI-electric: african cables that specializes in the installation and maintenance of high and medium voltage cable.

CBI-electric: POWER INSTALLATIONS

Power Installations is a division of CBI-electric: african cables that specializes in the installation and maintenance of Medium (11-33kV) and High (44-132kV) Voltage Power Cable.
The division has been in operation since 1986 during this time the division has achieved many milestones, not least of which was the installation and commissioning of the first ever high voltage XLPE cable to be installed in South Africa – still in operation, without failure, for over twenty years.
Power Installations is the forerunner, in South Africa, of installation of medium voltage and high voltage power cables. Installations take place on a turnkey basis with cable supplied from CBI-electric: african cables, accessories from local and/or international suppliers and the installation of these performed by Power Installations personnel.
High voltage installations are backed by fully type tested systems ensuring that the installation has been tested in its entirety and has proven compatibility of the cable with its associated accessories. In certain cases, customers have requested type testing of medium voltage cable circuits and these have also been easily accommodated by Power Installations.
In addition to turnkey work the division focuses strongly on maintenance of high voltage fluid filled and XLPE cable systems.
