South American demand for Yorkshire manufacturer’s products

Malton-based cable cleat manufacturer, Ellis Patents, has seen its products used to secure power supplies in the Peruvian capital of Lima by two of the Latin American country’s biggest energy suppliers.

Luz del Sur and ENEL Distribución both specified Ellis’ North Yorkshire designed, developed and manufactured 2A Aluminium cable clamps to secure high voltage power cables in vital new substations in the Manchay and Izaquirre areas of Lima.

Kelly Brown, Ellis Patents’ head of sales, said: “From our market leading product development programme, to our in-house testing facilities and on to our worldwide network of local distributors, we are set up in a manner that means that wherever in the world there’s a project that requires cable cleats then Ellis Patents products will not only be to the fore, but they will be the best possible option available.

“This approach has seen us secure specification after specification all over the world – from major mining projects in Australia to offshore wind farms in the North Sea, giant nuclear power stations in China to substation developments like this latest one in Lima.”

Ellis’ export operation comprises a growing network of local distributors, which currently covers 40 countries, and actively exports into 45 nations.

The company has enjoyed significant recent success in Latin American, including specifications for multi-million dollar projects in Brazil and Chile.
