National Cable Factory Oman Exports Strategy
National Cable Factory (NCF), established in Oman in 2013 and in production since 2018, now plans to expand beyond its domestic base and pursue new export markets. The company operates a modern factory in Raysut Industrial City in Salalah and has continued to supply electrical and flexible cables to the local market despite Covid-19 challenges.
“With high efficiency and excellent product quality, the factory plans to explore foreign markets in the near future to promote these products overseas,” said CEO Nayef bin Hamid Fadel. He noted that NCF already has the capacity and product range to support this move.
Growing Capacity and Product Range
Fadel explained that the company’s annual production volume has reached 10,000 tonnes of electrical cables of various types. To keep pace with demand, National Cable Factory has also introduced new production lines that match the needs of a fast-moving market.
According to the company’s website, NCF manufactures a broad portfolio that includes building wires, power cables, flexible cables, halogen-free cables, solar cable, and bare copper at its roughly 40,000–45,000 sq m plant in Raysut. The business also holds multiple quality certifications from organizations such as BASEC, BRE, BSI, DGMS, TAG, and VDE, reinforcing its export readiness. NCF was originally established by an Omani Investor Group with Turkish cable industry know-how, combining local ownership with European manufacturing expertise.
Investing in Omani Talent and Training
Fadel emphasized that National Cable Factory places strong emphasis on developing Omani talent. The company focuses on creating both job opportunities and training programs for national cadres.
In cooperation with the Technical and Administrative Training Institute, NCF will train a number of diploma holders as part of a “training for employment” initiative. This approach helps build a skilled local workforce while supporting the factory’s growth targets in both domestic and export markets.
