Sumitomo Electric U.K. Power Cables Ltd. (SEUK-CL), the Scotland-based subsidiary of Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., held its first supply chain engagement workshops in Inverness, Scotland on 28 & 29 October 2024 with support from Highlands and Island Enterprise (HIE).

SEUK-CL, the first submarine extra-high-voltage power cable manufacturing plant in the UK and located in the Scottish Highlands, conducted supplier engagement workshops at the end of October.

The company¡¯s mission to localize power cable manufacturing in the UK to contribute to a Net-Zero Society took a step closer to realization by meeting and discussing with targeted stakeholders who will support the facility as part of their supply chain. The first workshops aimed not only to ensure a continuous, reliable, and sustainable supply of locally produced power cable, but also to underpin the company¡¯s commitment to the local economy and job creation.

The workshops were well-attended, with representatives from the supply chain, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, and business partners joining SEUK-CL staff to make the event a success. SEUK-CL¡¯s chairperson, Yasuyuki Shibata, emphasized that the company will continue to engage with the local community for the benefit of both the Company and the local economy- a message that resonated with the audience.

As one of the leading global manufacturers of high-voltage cables, SEUK-CL will leverage the cutting-edge technology and expertise to produce the UK's first submarine high-voltage cable while maximizing the development of the local supply chain.

The journey is well underway for SEUK-CL to make a significant contribution to the Green Society and the economies of the UK and Scotland.
