Quadrant Future Tek is a research-oriented company, engaged in developing new generation Train Control and Signalling Systems under KAVACH project of the Indian Railways that offers the highest level of safety and reliability to rail passengers and also possess a Speciality cable manufacturing facility with Electron Beam Irradiation Centre. The speciality cables manufactured by the company is used in Railways rolling stock and Naval (Defence) industry. Its facility also possess end to end infrastructure capabilities for production of Solar & EV Cables. The company has one facility for manufacturing, testing, researching, and developing specialty cables and also to manufacture the hardware required for Train Control & Signalling Division, which is situated at Village Basma Tehsil Banur, Distt Mohali.
The company offers Speciality Cables for the industrial usage and other applications where fire and safety, light weight and long-term performance are of utmost importance. The in-house formulated low smoke fire resistant polymers for insulation / sheath of the cables are treated with Electron Beam radiations that enable the cross-linking of the molecules to achieve much superior mechanical and thermal properties. The higher temperature-bearing capacity enables the industry users to specify lower cross-section conductor / cable sizes that enables significant weight reduction.
