Hexatronic has signed an agreement with Ericsson to acquire the remaining copper cable equipment and inventory to drive the in-house production forward.
The copper cable operation will become a standalone business unit within Hexatronic Cables & Interconnect Systems (HCI), as part of a long term investment. The company will become a niche supplier in the copper and hybrid technologies (power (copper) cable + optic fiber for communication).
“We are pleased to offer an additional 15 people long term employment within HCI. During the time that we have handled the copper cable operation, we’ve seen how a certain product mix can be both profitable and long term. We will also increase our technology expertise in HCI. We have managed to find a solution with Ericsson, where we acquired this in a mutually advantageous manner”, says Gert Nordin, CEO of Hexatronic.
