“ÖLFLEX® has helped me scale new heights. With temperatures below zero, a colleague and I used a lift and ladders to clamber to the top of the narrow tower of a 150 meter-high wind power system where our cables were in use. To round off this experience in truly breathtaking style, the customer invited us to go out onto the roof of the nacelle. We gathered all our courage and were at least brave enough to poke our upper bodies out of the nacelle!”

For me, one of the most exciting projects was the installation of a tsunami early warning system at the Geiranger Fjord in Norway. A massive chunk of rock is threatening to fall into the fjord – if it did, it would trigger a tsunami. We installed a particularly weatherresistant cable as part of this project.”

“I vividly remember having the chance to enter the main reflector (100 meters in diameter) of the second-largest fully steerable radio telescope in the world near Bad Münstereifel. ÖLFLEX® plays a crucial role in the electric and electronic systems of this 3,600 ton giant.”

“Lapp cables represent a commitment to taking the initiative and being proud of what you achieve. When I recommend ÖLFLEX®, I know that this brand of cable
will far exceed our customers’ expectations. My wife often jokes that my blood is Lapp orange. She may well be right…”

“ÖLFLEX® cables are the lifelines of industry today. I particularly remember a
contract to construct a new cement factory in Saudi Arabia. This project required
cables that would not be damaged by termite bites. Within six to eight weeks,
we produced 110 kilometers of cable in 30 different sizes with an additional copper shield.”

“At the moment, my most interesting project involves the London buses. By mid 2009, all 8,208 buses will have been fitted with halogen-free ÖLFLEX® connection and control cables. These cables offer added safety because they are extremely flame resistant in the event of fire.”
