This is the first fiber optic cable plant in Kuwait, located in the Mina Abdullah Industrial area southeast of Kuwait City on a plot of land measuring 5,000 square meters. It is equipped with production and testing machinery identical to Taihan’s Dangjin cable plant in Korea. The facility is set to commence operations in mid-September following product certification.

The move comes as global demand for fiber optic cables surges, driven by the expansion of 5G infrastructure supported by the Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. Taihan plans to use this new plant as a springboard to supply not only Kuwait but also neighboring Gulf Cooperation Council countries like Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
