2022

As follows from the reporting of Sibkabel for 2022, 70.75% of the authorized capital belonged to UMMC OJSC, another 24.13% - to Cyprus Reedleport Holdings Ltd.

2011

In August 2011, CJSC Sibkabel entered Cable Alliance Holding LLC. The new structure combined cable plants: OJSC Electrokabel Kolchuginsky Zavod (Kolchugino), CJSC Sibkabel (Tomsk), CJSC Uralkabel (Yekaterinburg), and OJSC Research Cable Institute (Tomsk).

Today, Sibkabel's partners are miners of Kuzbass, oil workers of Tyumen, signalmen of Novosibirsk, industrialists of the Urals, sailors and fishermen of the Far Eastern coast, rural workers of the Volga region, Krasnodar Territory and others.

1999

The economic situation began to improve since August 1999, when Sibkabel became part of the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company. Guaranteed regular supplies of copper wire rod from the largest industrial giant of the Sverdlovsk region - Uralelectromed JSC - allowed Tomsk cable workers to increase production volumes by a quarter in the IY quarter of 1999.

1993 - 1997

The modern structure of Sibkabel CJSC includes cable and enamel winding production. In the early 90s of the last century, the company underwent active technical development. So, in 1993, the Finnish complex for the production of telephone cable based on equipment from Nokia Maileffer was put into operation, three extrusion lines of Rosendal (Austria), one line of De Angeli (Italy), a coarse drawing machine of Henrich, five emalizers of MAG (Austria) and Dea Tek) (Italy) were purchased and put into operation.

Since 1997, the financial condition of the enterprise has noticeably deteriorated: a sharp decrease in production volumes, a significant reduction in sales markets, the sale of social facilities, and the most painful loss is the reduction of the team. It has decreased by almost a third.

1971 - 1992

In July 1971, the cable plant and the research institute with experimental production were merged by decision of the government into Sibkabel software (production association), and in 1992 Sibkabel was transformed into CJSC.

1957

Cable production was further developed with the commissioning of building No. 1 in 1957, where a new mine cable workshop was located. And in 1958, specialized cases for the production of copper and aluminum wires with enamel and fiber insulation were commissioned. Winding and enamel were combined into the Emalpovod plant. Its director was Viktor Veniaminovich Menshenin, the head of the workshop was A.G. Farstov, the masters were M.I. Bykovskaya, M.V. Petukhova, N.P. Afanasyeva, the mechanic was K.I. Lobanov. Among the best workers in the history of the enterprise are the names of E.Ya. Linchuk, A.N. Zharkova, V.I. Kochetova, V.S. Kashtanova.

1941 - 1950

CJSC Sibkabel counts its history from the harsh 1941, when German troops stood near Moscow. On October 30, the 41st Council of People's Commissars decided to evacuate two Moscow plants Electroprovod and Moskabel to the deep rear of the country. Initially, it was supposed to place them in the city of Kemerovo, but a day later Sovnarkhoz changes the order to Tomsk.

Several workshops were to be created in the Siberian city: wire, winding, enameling, rubber-making, cable, etc. On December 8, 1941, the first echelon with Moscow specialists and qualified workers arrived in Siberia. Among them were the spouses Ilya Alekseevich and Varvara Aleksandrovna Bykovsky. The total experience of the founders of this factory dynasty and their followers is more than 200 years. Families of Gustov, Kuzmin, Torubarov, Vinogradov, Nikishin and many others also came from Moscow to Tomsk.

Then there were no lifting mechanisms and vehicles - the equipment was loaded manually, laid on wide metal sleds and with the help of 20 horses were taken to their destination. Within two months, all the equipment was placed in the ancient mansions of merchant Tomsk adapted for the shops: in the House of Science named after P.I. Makushin - enamel, factory management, mechanical repair. In the electromechanical college - winding and drawing workshops, and in the basement of the construction institute - rubber preparation, braiding, workshop of wires and cables with rubber insulation.

Six months later - in April 1942 - the country received its first products. It was 10 kilograms of winding wire. They were taken out of the workshop in their arms. Soon it was possible to establish the production of the necessary sapper wires and field communication wires for the front. On July 9, 1942, the plants were merged into the Sibkabel State Union Plant. The first director was Muscovite Pavel Georgiyevich Korolyov.

The first industrial building was commissioned in 1947, the construction of which began during the war years. It housed workshops with heavy equipment - drawing, rubber-making and a workshop of cables with rubber insulation. At the same time, other production facilities were built.

A special line in the history of the plant is the 1950s: a terrible fire broke out on the night of September 11-12. The drawing and rubber workshops were saved from the fire, and the universal cable was completely destroyed.
