Background
BICC PLC was a prestigious British cable manufacturer, known for its technical innovation and manufacturing excellence in the 20th Century. At the turn of the century, BICC PLC divested of its cable business (ultimately to the Prysmian Group) and the BICC brand ceased to be used.
As a former manufacturer for BICC PLC which is driven by the same principles, Apple International has established the BICC Components brand, offering a comprehensive range of cable accessories fit for the 21st Century. We remain committed to BICC PLC’s values, constantly seeking to improve and always striving for excellence, while offering value to our customers.
Under the BICC Components brand, we offer a range of industrial cable glands, cable cleats and cable connectors which are used in a wide range of industries, including the oil, petrochemical, power, water and mining industries. Drawing from over three decades of manufacturing experience, we deliver cost effective products of the highest quality for the most complex of application, with customer service which is second to none. This is reflected in our quality management systems, which are certified to ISO 9001.

Efficient manufacturing
To deliver world-class products for electric installations for highly-complex applications, such as those in the petrochemicals, energy and mining industries, in a timely and cost effective way requires efficient manufacturing. To do this, BICC Components focusses on three things: procurement, machinery and reducing waste:
- Procurement starts with our experienced team of buyers, who purchase the best raw materials at the best prices.
- Manufacturing means using the most modern automatic and semi-automatic CNC Turning and CNC Milling machines, with tolerances of +/- 0.05 mm.
- Reducing waste is about efficient design and manufacturing processes.
Together, this means that we can pass on savings to our customers while offering shorter delivery times and absolute adherence to schedules.
