About

Helmacab's roots go back to 1905, when its former parent company Helkama was founded. The cable business began in the 1950s as part of Helkama's own electronic production, and in the 1970s Helkama Bica concentrated solely on cable design and manufacturing. In 2024 the entire share capital of Helkama Bica was sold to Swedish private equity investor Accent Equity and the company's executive management, and the company was renamed Helmacab.

Helmacab has three production facilities, in Kaarina and Hanko (Finland) and Shanghai (China), plus a full service logistics centre and sales team in the Netherlands. It has over 290 employees, produces over 30,000 km of cable per year and exports to over 60 countries. All Helmacab cables are available with ecological sheathing material, and the company is ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified.
