82 83 C aribbean Cable Company Limited (CCC) commenced operations in 1966, as BICC (Caribbean Ltd.), an English firm that supplied products from the United Kingdom. In 1990, as a result of a management buy-out, the com- pany became fully Jamaican-owned. CCC manufactures single core and general cables, which provide light and power for sound systems, do- mestic and commercial buildings, as well as power cables for heavy-duty equipment in industries, generators, and power stations. The company also manufactures battery cables for auto- mobile use. As a manufacturer within CARICOM, CCC serves the region it knows and understands intimately, and has a commitment to producing cables of the highest quality which will stand up to the special rigors of the Carib- bean climate. Its cables for industrial and domestic use cover a compre- hensive range of building wires, low voltage power cables (PVC and XLPE), and insulated and flexible cords. Caribbean Cable’s 70 employees work out of a 68,000 square foot fac- tory in Old Harbour, St. Catherine, Ja- maica that is equipped for wire draw- ing, bunching, extrusion, and reeling. Its products are all approved by the CARIBBEAN CABLE COMPANY Caribbean Cable Co. A GOOD CONNECTION TO MAKE
