The Wire & Cable division of Hanwha Solutions announced on April 13 that it will take part in 'WIRE 2026,' held in Dusseldorf, Germany, from April 13 to 17.

'WIRE 2026' is the world’s largest exhibition where major global cable manufacturers and materials companies participate, sharing the latest technologies and industry trends. Through this exhibition, Hanwha Solutions plans to actively promote its mid- to long-term growth strategies and vision in the high value-added power cable materials sector.

At this event, Hanwha Solutions is operating an exhibition booth under the slogan “Best Quality, Better Planet,” combining high-performance cable material technologies with sustainable, circular solutions. The company will enhance digital exhibition tools and consultation functions to broaden its contact with global customers, while also focusing on securing new orders and partnership opportunities.

During this exhibition, Hanwha Solutions will unveil a new cable model utilizing next-generation ultra-high voltage cable material technology. This model features 500kV-class SEHV (Super Extra-High Voltage) cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and semiconductive materials, delivering the insulation reliability and long-term performance demanded by ultra-high voltage transmission environments.

Additionally, Hanwha Solutions will introduce a circular XLPE (Closed Loop) solution utilizing decrosslinking technology. By presenting cable models based on recycled XLPE and semiconductive materials, the company demonstrates the potential to achieve both eco-friendliness and business viability within a circular economy framework.

Using this exhibition as a stepping stone, Hanwha Solutions plans to strengthen its global network centered on Europe and accelerate business expansion in high value-added cable material markets such as ultra-high voltage, submarine, and HVDC cables. Leveraging the launch of its European subsidiary in 2025, the company aims to increase its market share in Europe and North America, and to become a top-tier global power cable material provider through quality competitiveness and technology-driven new product development.

The company has also completed quality improvements for existing products based on its independently developed core raw materials and has expanded the market entry of high value-added products. In Europe, Hanwha Solutions has established a hub organization and operates Key Account Manager (KAM) functions with local professionals to enhance synergy with headquarters.

Going forward, Hanwha Solutions plans to gradually expand its global supply chain by increasing domestic production facilities and exploring new footholds in regions such as North America. The company will also expand collaboration with major cable companies and pursue more than 30 high value-added product certifications concurrently, aiming to boost profitability through full-scale commercialization after 2027.

Carlo Scalata, Head of the Wire & Cable division at Hanwha Solutions, stated, “This exhibition is an opportunity to showcase our ultra-high voltage cable material technologies and circular solution capabilities to the global market,” adding, “We will accelerate our push into the high value-added power cable material market based on differentiated quality competitiveness and collaboration with our customers.”
