East Granby, Connecticut Facility Introduction The Rockbestos-Surprenant Cable Corporation is a world leader in the design and manufacture of insulated high performance control, power, instrumentation and specialty electrical cables. Today, the Company continues a tradition of excellence begun more than eighty years ago. It is committed to meeting the most demanding customer requirements through innovative design, excellence in manufacturing, and unequaled customer service. Rockbestos-Surprenant was established when the two individual companies were combined as one entity now a member company of The Marmon Group. Already a Marmon Group member for twenty years, Rockbestos was founded 80 years ago in New Haven, Connecticut. Surprenant was founded 60 years ago in Clinton, Massachusetts. The combination of these two companies has created the largest specialized low-voltage cable manufacturer in North America. Capabilities Rockbestos-Surprenant is an integrated manufacturer with extensive production and material design capabilities. Over the years, our materials engineers have developed countless proprietary compounds and products to meet specific customer needs. Our extensive corporate Research and Development facility contains a broad range of analytical equipment for new insulation development, pilot processing lines for the manufacture of cable prototypes, and testing facilities to measure the physical, electrical, chemical and flame performance of finished products and materials. Company applications engineers apply these developments to specific customer needs which require more than standard designs. Rockbestos-Surprenant is a world leader in irradiation-crosslinking technology, which has allowed us to provide industry leadership in the field of thin-wall cross-linked polyolefin (XLPO) cables. We also have a historical leadership position in the design and manufacture of high-temperature and other high-performance cables. Our integrated manufacturing process begins with in-house compounding to provide total control of quality and performance. Our manufacturing plant has thermoplastic and thermosetting processing capability, as well as cabling, shielding, and jacketing. The facility is equipped with extensive radiation processing capacity. In addition, we have numerous proprietary processes to manufacture specialized shielding systems, high temperature cable constructions, and hazardous location cables. Our fully approved QA/QC programs support compliance with industry standards around the world. We are an approved nuclear cable supplier, and our operations are registered to ISO 9001. Customer Service Rockbestos-Surprenant is committed to providing the highest level of response to our customer's needs for technical support, product reliability, and longterm performance. We support our products with a service network of district managers, field sales representatives, inside sales staff, sales agents, and authorized distributors. Our salespeople are cable experts. We help them stay that way by frequent training. In turn, our sales people translate customer needs into requests which provide direction for our research and development efforts. This sales team is supported by experienced customer service representatives, product managers, and applications engineers. This team is dedicated, responsive to your requirements, and welcomes the opportunity to service your cable needs. An additional component of service is our commitment to finished inventory. In a network of warehouses, we inventory both standard and custom cables to meet general needs as well as specific individual customer demand.
