This was not a typical subcontracting deal. Instead, it was a carefully managed transfer of a specific production task.
Dedicated Investment
During the evaluation, it was clear that consistent winding and coil shape were needed for smooth integration into cable production lines. Primo invested in a winding solution designed specifically for this product.
This approach made sure of the following:
Controlled tension during winding
Consistent coil dimensions
Stable handling characteristics
Reliable downstream feeding into cable production
Production met the agreed technical requirements and quality standards. The transition was done in stages to keep supply steady.
Results
By working with Primo, the cable manufacturer was able to achieve the following:
Released internal production capacity
Improved focus on high-value cable systems
Reduced planning complexity
Increased stability of core production lines
Maintained full technical control over product specifications
The PP filler rod with PVC coating stayed the same in terms of function. The main change was in how production was organized. High-capacity internal lines were shifted from making low-value support parts to focusing on products that give the company its competitive edge.
In high-volume industries like cable manufacturing, internal extrusion works best for complex, value-added products. However, not every supporting part fits this approach.
This example shows that working closely with a specialized extrusion partner can boost production efficiency and help protect core capacity.
In this case, outsourcing was not about cutting costs. Instead, it was about focus, keeping operations balanced, and aligning with strategy. Primo acted as a flexible extension of internal production, not as a replacement.
