■ Develops products targeted for Chinese, US and Australian market and acquires certification
■ Full lineup necessary for entire mining processes
■ Will develop a product for Australia, the largest coal market in the world within this year
Seoul, Korea, 13rd, March - On March 13 LS Cable & System (Christopher Koo) announced that the company completed development and overseas certification of cable products for the mining industry that meet the specifications of the global market like China and the US. These products are intended to invade the resource development market that is growing fast as interest in the mining industry, e.g. coal, is rising due to the recent nuclear power plant accident and high oil prices, and demands for coal in emerging economies like China and India are increasing.
In particular, as mining companies are getting larger, and their equipment is modernized, the primary target is China where demands are gradually increasing. To this end, the domestic R&D Center of LS Cable & System joined hands with the China R&D Center and its Chinese subsidiary LS Hongqi Cable to develop 20 or so kinds of products that meet the Chinese standard (MT, short for the China pronunciation Mei Tan, meaning coal mining), and had all of them certified. This certification enabled LS Cable & System to provide, as a package, all cables used in products required for the mining process like excavators, moving excavators, movable transformers, underground drills and conveyor belts.
Also, to make inroads into the American market with plenty of mining resources, LS Cable & System developed a new special cable used in both open-pit mines and underground mines. This product is covered with polyurethane that has excellent wear resistance and tensile strength. It is eco-friendly and boasts of excellent performance in various situations. This product meets the standard of Insulated Cable Engineers Association (ICEA), and the company says that it can be sold right away in the market.
In addition, LS Cable & System will start development of a product targeting the Australian market, the world’s No. 1 producer of coal, by the end of this year. The company is planning to secure products that meet the standards of key areas, conduct marketing activities for large overseas mining companies, and raise its sales in overseas markets to $50 million by 2015.
