Best known for its efficiency in restoring electric power to Kuwait in record time during the Gulf War crisis, the SCC Group has not just added troubleshooting to it portfolio, but has earned a reputation for customer satisfaction in every arena. From its establishment in 1975, the group has steadily expanded with the investments in Mass Cables - Turkey and Midal Cables – Bahrain in 1986. As the SCC Group became a publicly traded company, it ventured into Telecommunications Systems with commissioning of metallic and optical fiber cable manufacturing facilities both in Saudi Arabia and Turkey. This, combined with its dedication to quality resulted in the awarding of the prestigious ISO 9001 certification in 1995, thus ensuring it a permanent place among the world leaders in cable design and systems solutions. In 2002 Saudi Cable was awarded the coveted King Abdul Aziz Model Factory Award. Given below is a chart of the major achievements of the Group: Major Achievements | |
