- Mostly we don't substitute import, but forestall it. Even today the “Holding Cable Alliance” offers to the consumers such cables, which excel in operating characteristics other imported analogues.

In the report Aleksey Prokhorov emphasized that for the last year with the help of the Holding there have been worked out more than 200 new items within the bounds of the program of import substitution in such segments as ship's cables, mining cables, cables for oil and gas industry, transmission facility cables and burying cables, fiber-optic cables, “drop cables” intended for hanging on support links, electrical transmission lines, lighting columns between buildings.

An absolutely new product was introduced to the participants of the forum. It was a medium voltage cable with cross-linked polyethylene insulation with a current-conducting cable of a sector shape.

Manufacturers pointed to some moments, that prevent from the development of the cable industry. They are the absence of domestic materials for cable and wire manufacturing in some cases, insufficient consistency of all the participants of the process in questions of import substitution. Producers think, that the main problem is high-volume production of adulterated cable products.

Such meetings strengthen relations between partners, help the Holding to carry out a wide nomenclature of products which have an excellent quality and meet the requirements of many regions.
