CBS Products Ltd. is a leading provider of specialised equipment solutions for the construction of power transmission lines and telecommunications networks around the world.

Established in 1971 in Oakham, (East Midlands, England) the company began to design and manufacture cable jointing equipment and gradually diversified into winching equipment for the power transmission industry. With the de-regulation of the UK electricity industry in the 80's the newly privatised National Grid Company entered the field of telecommunications, installing fibre optic cables along transmission line networks. CBS seized this opportunity to develop and build line of pullers and tensioners for high production cable placing.

Our success in the UK telecoms market meant that the company's expertise and know-how rapidly came to the attention of the major players in the realm of fibre optic cable. Consequently, CBS has become the partner of choice in a number of high profile, international fibre optic cable projects, notably in the USA, Russia, China, Malaysia and Zimbabwe. These projects provided further opportunities for the company to demonstrate its prowess in developing innovative solutions capable of withstanding extreme conditions, both of climate and terrain.

Towards the end of the 90's the company's continuing quest for new horizons was promoted by achieving the internationally recognised Quality Standard, BS EN ISO 9001 and culminated in the development of the Tornado series of fibre optic cable blowing machines. These have proved highly successful both in the UK and global telecom markets. In the UK, the Tornado out-performed its competition in a most demanding evaluation, enabling CBS to win a highly coveted contract as exclusive suppliers of cable blowing equipment to British Telecommunications (BT).

In 2004, CBS joined forces with GMP Tools USA to further enhance the global reach and breadth of our outside plant equipment capabilities. So, whether you're in telecoms, CATV or power transmission line construction, CBS has what it takes to keep your project running smoothly and on schedule. Which brings us to the most compelling reason to consider us when planning your next cable deployment project.your bottom line.
