North Yorkshire’s Ellis secures second major Chinese nuclear specification

Malton-based Ellis has secured a second major order to install its cable cleat products in the Areva European Pressurised Reactor (EPR) nuclear power plant currently being constructed in the Guangdong province of China.

The order for its Emperor cable cleats and ProTect cable straps was placed at the commencement of the second phase of the Taishan Nuclear Power Project, which is a joint venture between EDF and China Guangdong Nuclear Power Group.

Ellis expects to ship the product from its North Yorkshire headquarters in the final quarter of the year.

Tony Conroy, Ellis’ export sales director, said: “Even after the success of the phase one specification, receiving a repeat order for phase two was far from simple.

“A huge emphasis has been placed on the various contractors to source local products, and so it felt like a huge victory to overturn this directive and once again see British products being specified for installation in a major Chinese development.”

Designed for use where the highest levels of short circuit withstand are required, Ellis’ Emperor cable cleats are available for both trefoil and single cable applications.

All products in the range are manufactured in type 316L stainless steel, meaning they provide ultimate corrosion protection, even in the harshest of environments.

The order for Taishan was specified through Ellis’ Hong Kong distributor, Wang Yip Hong (J&P) Ltd.
