Product range
Midal Cables, established in 1977 in Bahrain, is a leading manufacturer specializing in aluminum rods, wires, and overhead conductors for electrical transmission. The company was founded as a collaborative effort between Intersteel, Bahrain, and Olex Cables, Australia. Over the decades, Midal Cables has expanded significantly, becoming one of the top producers of aluminum rods globally, with a capacity exceeding 350,000 metric tons.
Midal Cables operates multiple manufacturing plants in locations including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Mozambique, and Turkey. It has also embraced innovative practices, such as integrating a 4.7-megawatt solar power plant in partnership with Imerys Al Zayani Bahrain and Yellow Door Energy, highlighting its commitment to sustainability. The company continues to lead in the manufacture of high-voltage overhead electrical conductors and aluminum and alloy rods, playing a pivotal role in advancing industrial self-sufficiency in the Middle East.
Composite Power Group represents Midal Cables’ Overhead Line Conductor portfolio and offering in Canada, specialized to the utility market.
AAAC
Aluminium Alloy
Conductors
Concentric lay stranded Aluminium Alloy Conductors (AAAC) are made of high-strength Aluminium-Magnesium-Silicon Alloy. Midal manufactures and supplies AAAC with different variants of electrical-grade alloy types 6101 and 6201, utilizing one or more strands of hard-drawn 1350 aluminium alloy.
AAC
All Aluminium
Conductor
The Conductors made of concentric stranded Aluminium (AAC) are composed of one or more strands of hard drawn 1350 aluminum alloy. These conductors are widely used in low, medium, and high voltage overhead lines. AAC has been extensively used in urban areas where the spans are short but high conductivity is required.
AACSR
Aluminium Alloy
Conductor Steel Reinforced
AACSR is a conductor made up of one or more layers of Aluminum-Magnesium-Silicon Alloy wire stranded around a high-strength coated steel core, either a single wire or stranded multi-wire. The steel core can be of Class A, B, or C galvanizing, or Aluminum clad (AW).
ACSR/TW
Aluminum Conductor
Steel Reinforced Trapezoidol
Shaped Wire Compact Concentric-Lay-Stranded Aluminum Conductor, Steel-Reinforced (ACSR/TW) is a type of conductor made by stranding trapezoidal-shaped 1350-H19 aluminum wires around a high-strength steel core.
In one design, the ACSR/TW conductor has the same aluminum cross-sectional area as standard ACSR, resulting in a smaller conductor diameter but maintaining the same ampacity level and reducing wind loading.
In the second design, the conductor diameter is the same as standard ACSR, resulting in significantly lower conductor resistance and increased current rating with the same conductor diameter.
ACCC
Aluminum Conductor
Composite Core
The new generation ACCC® (Aluminum Conductor Composite Core) is a highly energy-efficient and cool conductor. It consists of one or more layers of trapezoidally shaped hard-drawn and annealed 1350-0 aluminum wires on a central core made of lightweight carbon-glass fiber composite.
The ACCC® Conductor utilizes a carbon fiber core that is 25% stronger and 60% lighter than a traditional steel core. This, coupled with the trapezoidal-shaped aluminum strands, increases the aluminum content in ACCC® by over 28% without increasing the overall diameter or weight of the conductor.

company History
Midal Cables Limited was established in 1977 conceived between Intersteel, Bahrain and Olex Cables, Australia to manufacture aluminum rod and overhead electrical transmission cables, conductors. Since then, the company has developed into a significant player in the aluminum and electrical transmission industry in Kingdom of Bahrain. Its growth has contributed to the industrialization of Bahrain and Gulf countries while promoting a national skilled workforce within the company. Midal supplies the world market with rod cast from the molten aluminum delivered directly from Aluminium Bahrain (ALBA) smelter adjacent to its manufacturing plant. The liquid aluminum is exceptionally pure which allows Midal to cast rod and further production of wires an exceptionally high conductivity in various grades of transmission cables. Midal's EC grade and 6201 alloy rod are sold around the world as well as being used in-house to manufacture a full range of overhead electrical conductors and aluminum wires.
Test facilities
A well equipped Product Testing Facility is available at Midal Cables to take care of the product validation and quality test requirements. The Quality Control Laboratory of Midal Cables Bahrain has been accredited by International Accreditation Service ( IAS ) for its conformance to the requirement of ISO/IEC 17025 standard.
