Lake Cable Relies On SIKORA Technology For Precise Quality Monitoring In Cable Manufacturing

Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Bensenville, Illinois, Lake Cable is a leading US-based manufacturer of high-performance wire and cable. With a workforce of 650-plus employees, Lake Cable serves a wide range of markets including industrial automation, data centers, electric vehicles, smart infrastructure, and marine, oil, and gas industries – to name a few. At Lake Cable, delivering consistent product quality is non-negotiable. “We manufacture highly engineered, high-tolerance products,” explains Cooper Runzel, Chief Operating Officer at Lake Cable. “This demands real-time data collection and traceability for every foot of cable, which simply is not possible without quality inline measuring equipment.”

To achieve such high standards, Lake Cable integrates SIKORA’s advanced measurement equipment, such as the LUMP 2000, LASER Series, SPARK 2000, and CENTERVIEW 8000, directly into their extrusion lines. These devices are built to last and have become a staple in Lake Cable’s production. SIKORA systems have also helped Lake Cable raise their automated quality process through improved data collection and communication protocols. “I have been in this industry for over a decade. I have used most of SIKORA’s competitors, but no one has been a partner to us the way SIKORA has,” says Cooper Runzel.

Such a close partnership is a key to Lake Cable’s success, especially given its reputation as an industry leader and high expectations. Lake Cable uses a cell manufacturing model to provide the shortest lead times in the industry and a wide range of customization services – from jacket colors and striping to composite configurations and private labeling. Lake Cable’s unmatched versatility is complemented by 100% quality inspections, small minimum runs, and traceability of all raw materials, machines, and operators.

All of Lake Cable’s prime lines have one exceptional SIKORA measuring device installed: the CENTERVIEW 8000. Designed for smaller products such as data and automotive cables, Lake Cable uses the CENTERVIEW 8000 to show wall thickness and concentricity on a heads-up display. This system replaced the outdated method of cutting live samples for manual measurement and adjustment, reducing Lake Cable’s start-up time and scrap. “By performing production checks on the fly, we save material and reduce the workload on our quality team,” Cooper Runzel states, and adds: “Our customers, in turn, benefit from more consistent, high-quality cables with better centering, more uniform walls, and ultimately, greater satisfaction.”

Lake Cable’s vision for the future is clear to Cooper Runzel: “Our goal is to have a world-class, interconnected quality program — one that does not just respond to issues but anticipates them before they happen. SIKORA systems are a key part of making that vision a reality.”

Avro India Leads Waste-To-Wealth Shift With India’s Largest Flexible Plastic Recycling Unit

Avro India Leads Waste-To-Wealth Shift With India’s Largest Flexible Plastic Recycling Unit

Avro India Limited, a leading manufacturer of plastic-moulded furniture, is set to address one of India’s most complex environmental challenges—recycling difficult-to-process plastic waste—with the launch of its state-of-the-art greenfield recycling facility in Ghaziabad.

Operating under AVRO Recycling Limited, a 100% owned subsidiary of Avro India Limited, the facility houses India’s largest flexible plastic recycling plant, with a current processing capacity of 500 metric tonnes per month (MTPM). The capacity is scheduled to scale up to 1,000 MTPM by Q4 of FY 2025–26.

The capital expenditure invested in the recycling plant stands at Rs 25 crore as of date, with plans to invest an additional Rs 30 crore by FY 2027. As part of its long-term sustainability vision, the company also plans to expand pan-India through future greenfield recycling projects.

Founded in 2002, Avro India Limited has consistently delivered durable, high-quality, and affordable plastic-moulded furniture to households, businesses, and institutions across India. Today, the company enjoys nationwide prominence and is listed on both the NSE and BSE.

Avro has built one of India’s most extensive distribution networks, comprising over 30,000 retailers, supported by more than 300 distributors across 24 states.

Historically, difficult-to-process plastic waste—such as cement bags, salt bags, sugar bags, putty bags, and calcite packaging—was considered largely non-recyclable and was either downcycled or handled by the unorganised sector. After more than three years of intensive research, trials, and technological innovation, Avro has developed a proprietary system capable of upcycling such complex plastic waste at scale, enabling the responsible processing of nearly 1 million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) of such waste generated in India.

The recycled granules produced at the facility are fully utilised in the manufacture of high-value end products, including plastic furniture, air coolers, washing machines, automotive components, and other industrial and consumer applications. These granules are available at up to 40% lower cost than virgin plastic, while meeting stringent technical and durability standards—helping manufacturers remain cost-efficient, compliant, and environmentally responsible.

With the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) norms by the Government of India—mandating the use of at least 30% recycled plastic content in rigid plastics—brand owners are facing a significant supply gap of high-quality recycled raw materials. Addressing this challenge, Avro India has emerged as the largest and most reliable organised player in the flexible plastic recycling space, offering consistent volumes at industrial scale.

Commenting on the development, Mr. Sushil Kumar Aggarwal, Chairman and Whole-Time Director, Avro India Limited, said“India’s plastic challenge cannot be solved through fragmented efforts. It requires scale, technology, and intent. At Avro, we have invested years of research to build a system that converts complex plastic waste into valuable raw material. Our vision goes beyond recycling—we are building a nationwide ecosystem that transforms waste into opportunity while protecting our planet.”

Looking ahead, Avro India is developing a pan-India network of ‘mother and baby’ recycling plants, aimed at decentralizing waste processing and accelerating India’s transition to a circular economy. Through innovation, scale, and collaboration, the company aims to play a defining role in positioning India as a global leader in sustainable plastic management.

3d People Helps Power Breakthrough Maritime Sustainability With Armada Technologies’ Passive Air Lubrication System

A small 3D printed component is making a big impact beneath the hull of an Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) carrier, and it’s London-based 3D People that helped bring this engineering innovation to life. Armada Technologies, a Liverpool-based firm on a mission to reduce the environmental impact of global shipping, turned to 3D People to manufacture a critical part for its revolutionary Passive Air Lubrication System (PALS).

PALS is a transformative technology that reduces drag by releasing microbubbles beneath a ship’s hull, creating an aerated layer that cuts fuel consumption and emissions. Unlike traditional systems that rely on energy-hungry compressors, Armada’s design uses the vessel’s own forward motion to draw air through a proprietary venturi ejector. But producing that ejector (a precision geometry exposed to extreme pressures, corrosive seawater, and continuous flow) posed a major manufacturing challenge.

Traditional methods couldn’t deliver the required internal features, surface uniformity, or environmental durability. Industrial additive manufacturing, however, offered the perfect solution, and Armada needed a partner with both capability and engineering intelligence.

“3D People stood out immediately,” said Armada COO Roger Armson. “They understood the complexity of the part, grasped our technical needs quickly, and delivered prototypes that met our stringent functional and compliance requirements.”

Using PA12 Nylon for its strength and marine resilience, 3D People produced the components via SLS and used vapour smoothing to ensure optimal fluid interaction. Over four production batches, every part met Armada’s tight timeline and quality thresholds. Eight months after installation, the components continue to operate flawlessly.

For 3D People, the project reflects the real potential of industrial 3D printing.

“We love projects where additive manufacturing isn’t just convenient, it’s transformative,” says Sasha Bruml, Co-Founder of 3D People. “Working with Armada shows how AM can unlock sustainable engineering solutions that simply wouldn’t be possible any other way.”

Co-Founder Felix Manley adds, “This is exactly where 3D People excels, complex parts for demanding environments, and customers who value engineering collaboration. Our role isn’t just to print parts, but to help solve problems.”

As global industries push toward cleaner, more efficient technologies, the collaboration demonstrates how agile, production-grade 3D printing can accelerate innovation in even the harshest operating environments.

“As sustainable technologies scale and engineering challenges become more complex, partnerships like this show why additive manufacturing is now integral to modern industrial problem-solving,” Bruml adds. “3D People has spent years building the expertise, precision, and reliability that projects like Armada’s demand, and we will continue to be the partner innovators turn to when performance truly matters.”
