THE latest contract win for North Yorkshire cable cleat manufacturer Ellis has demonstrated the growing global nature of its business with an order from the Czech offices of ABB for an installation in the Philippines.

A bespoke variation of Ellis’ Emperor cable cleat was specified by ABB in Prague to secure electrical power cables throughout the San Gabriel Avion open cycle gas turbine plant, which is currently being built in the Bolbok area of Batangas City.

Tomáš Salon, engineer for ABB, listed among the reasons for specifying from Ellis: "positive past experiences with the company, Emperor’s robust / solid design and the fact it was easier to assemble than other similar products."

The worldwide standing of Rillington-based Ellis is strengthened by a global network of dedicated local distributors.

Currently numbering 30, the network helps ensure the Ellis name is at the forefront of specification consideration for virtually every major power, oil and gas, and infrastructure project, no matter where the location.

Tony Conroy, Ellis’ export sales director, said: "When it comes to cable cleats we are the world leader, and Emperor is very much the linchpin of our product portfolio.

"It’s tried, tested and trusted, and every new specification it helps to secure serves to strengthen both its position and ours."

Designed for use where the highest levels of short circuit withstand are required, Ellis’ Emperor cleats provide corrosion protection, even in the harshest of environments.
