Berk-Tek Brightens Colors
New Holland, PA_November 14, 2002_Berk-Tek, a Nexans company, offers brighter hues on its twisted pair conductors, for more identifiable pairs in low light environments.
"In ongoing efforts to improve our cables, we incorporated a brighter colored Flourinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) insulation compound into the manufacture of our category cables," said Dan Kennefick, Copper Products Business Manager. "The FEP materials are more vivid, making it easier for installers to distinguish between the colors in low lighting situations."
Finding new ways to improve products in terms of quality, performance and user-friendly characteristics is an ongoing priority for the company.
"We continually investigate the usability and installability of our products," Kennefick said. "We look at what is easier for the installer, and obtain feedback from our sales force and from our OASIS partners" (approved installers for Berk-Tek's warranty program). The initial feedback from the OASIS integrators has been positive to the enhanced hues.
This month, Berk-Tek's manufacturing plant in New Holland, PA, received its ISO 9001-2000 certification in 2002. The new standard among other upgrades, the standard highlights continuous improvement initiatives.
