Sevkabel, based in St.Petersburg, Russia, is a cable manufacturing company.
History
Sevkabel was founded in 1879 by the St.Petersburg subsidiary of the German company Siemens & Halske. In the wake of Russian Revolution in 1917, the company was nationalized. By 1931 Sevkabel industrialized paper-insulated, lead-covered high voltage cables, the first production of its kind in Russia. During the Siege of Leningrad, in 1942, Sevkabel produced over 100 km of submarine medium-voltage cable that was laid on the bed of Ladoga Lake restoring the energy supply of sieged city with Volkhov Hydroelectric Station. In 1993 Sevkabel has been privatized. In 2017-19, the historical part of the Sevkabel plant on the shore of Vasilyevsky Island underwent gentrification and was transformed into an art hub, Sevkabel Port.
