NIGERCHIN has been established for over 40 years and is the first electric cable manufacture
r in Nigeria. Its electric cable products are among the top sold in the Nigerian markets. Many well -known Nigerian joint ventures, such as Shell, Siemens, China Civil Engineering Construction Co.,
China Railway Corporation, are all regular customers of NIGERCHIN. The company offers reliable
quality products and its great reputation has won a lot of Nigerian customers. NIGERCHIN has
now become the largest electric cable manufacturer in Nigeria.
When first established, NIGERCHIN mainly manufactures electric wires for residential use
s and cables with small specification. With the increasing needs for electric cable in the
Nigeria market, NIGERCHIN’S products can no longer satisfy the demand. In 1973,
NIGERCHIN became a partner with Canadian International Cable Company and received
technical support from them. From then on, NIGERCHIN started manufacturing new
products including various middle and large specs of armored cable, steel reinforced
aluminum stranded wire, etc... Also, the insulation material used for electric cable has
grown from just PVC to XLPE. Added to the products are specialized electric cable
that resists heat, fire or prevents burning or aging by sunlight.
While NIGERCHIN focuses on keeping the advanced products in the Nigeria market, it also
has very strict quality management and has established a nearly perfect quality control
system. It was certified by IS09001 quality management system according to IEC, BS,
VDE to manufacture various electric cables for all kinds of use.
NIGERCHIN strengthened its technology in order to stabilize the market and develop
into a diversified company. It established quality testing and a new product development
center to ensure the advancement of process and technology. Therefore its level of
technology and size of manufacturing plant has been increasing. The foreign employees
of the company come from different countries, such as Philippines, Burma, India, China,
Canada. Most of the foreign employees work mainly in important departments such as
quality testing of electric cables, new product development, maintenance of machines
and electric equipment, warehouse management and market development. All the
employees work together to push the company forward.
