Volex Group plc has been selected by telecoms solutions provider Huawei as a local cable assemblies supplier for both Huawei India and Huawei Indonesia.

These contracts see Volex provide cable assemblies to the Indian telecoms market via its Chennai manufacturing facility and delivering products through its two Indonesian factories for Huawei’s telecoms customers in its South Pacific region.

The import regulations in place in India made it vital for Huawei to partner with a supplier which has local manufacturing expertise coupled with regional knowledge. With a successful working relationship already in place, Volex presented the ideal opportunity through its facility in Chennai to help Huawei meet the needs of its Indian customers.

Indonesia is the fourth most populous country in the world, also resulting in a significant market opportunity for Volex. Huawei required a supplier that adhered to its stringent quality requirements and with factories in Batam and Jakarta, Volex were well placed to provide Huawei with a flexible and timely supply of high-quality cable assemblies. Huawei’s Indonesia centre also covers 30 other countries in the Asia-Pacific region.

Volex will supply Huawei Indonesia and Huawei India with subscriber, trunk and power cable assemblies from its regional factories and high speed fibre optic cable assemblies will also be supplied from the factory in India.
