Tratos Cavi has sponsored ‘Premio Capaccini’ for the 16th year running, awarding the best high school and secondary school students in the vicinity of its headquarters in Pieve Santo Stefano, Tuscany, Italy with cash prizes. 
Following WWII, Egidio Capaccini left the physically and economically devastated Southern Tuscany for Argentina where he was employed in a factory making cables, eventually becoming manager of the factory.  In the early 1960s Egidio returned to Italy, using his experience to establish Tratos Cavi.  Employees were drawn from the remnants of the textile industry that had once flourished in Southern Tuscany as their experience proved useful when it came to covering the cables with textile, as was the practise at that time.

Modular Wiring Systems Opens New Training Facility
Modular Wiring Systems, a subsidiary of electrical cable manufacturer Tratos Ltd, has opened a new demonstration and training facility at its Slough offices.
The ‘Modular Academy’ is a showcase for Modular Wiring Systems’ product range and services. The large ground floor room has been divided into three key sections – Power, Lighting and Bespoke Equipment – each with working equipment, allowing customers to see and interact with Modular Wirings products in action.
“The new Modular Academy will allow us to clearly show how modular wiring systems work”, states the Managing Director of Modular Wiring Systems. “Despite such systems being on the market for some 25 years, many specifiers, developers and contractors remain unfamiliar with them and are therefore reluctant to move away from the traditional approach of fixed installations which are labour intensive and costly”.

The ACI (Approved Cables Initiative)
Tratos Limited is pleased to be a part of ACI (Approved Cables Initiative) as an active member of the BCA. The ACI initiative (www.aci.org.uk)led by the BCA (British Cables Association) is involving the whole cable systems supply chain from end to end – from manufacturer through installer to end user.  To ensure that the cables systems and products purchased and installed throughout the UK are safe, fit for purpose and fully compliant with the requisite specifications, standards and approvals. It is estimated that 20% of cable products in the supply chain are non-approved, unsafe or counterfeit.
These products directly undermine UK and European Approval Standards and create major risks for the Industry and the UK community.
