The biggest customers are the auto mechanics and machinery sector, the energy sector and information technologies. The market is growing worldwide. At the same time the performance requirements for cables are increasing due to the technological progress. Consequently this affects the demands for insulations as well. They need to be as thin but also safe and flexible as possible.
