Shaghai, China – September 21– 24, 2026 – SETIC & POURTIER, a global leader in stranding and cabling solutions, is proud to announce its participation in wire China 2026. As the first European cable machinery supplier getting into the Chinese market since 1999, the group will exhibit under its new unified brand identity within the French Pavilion (Booth n°E1D15) at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC).
A unique signature for a changing world
This edition marks a historic milestone with the presentation of a unified logo under the signature: “Wire and cable solutions powering a changing world”. This convergence of industrial expertise allows the group to support its customers through profound digital and energy transformations as a global strategic partner for stranding and cabling solutions.
To meet the growing demand in the automotive industry, driven by technological advancements such as all-electrical cars and their supporting infrastructure, SETIC & POURTIER is leading the field with new developments to further improve its high-quality rotating machines. Enhanced high-speed double twist bunchers, single twist take-up with backtwist payoffs, and various complete strander solutions have been specifically adapted for the production of EV charging, batteries, and data cables for this industry.
Thanks to its one step or two steps solutions (Double, twist twist twinners & quadders, group twinners), SETIC & POURTIER effectively responds to needs for industrial data cables, IIOT, Robot and strong growth in the global LAN market.
The low and medium voltage cable market is poised for significant expansion, supported by increasing energy demand, grid integration, infrastructure development, and major construction projects—including data centers.
Technologies on display at wire China
Kelvin Wu, Area Manager, who will be present at the booth to support regional partners, emphasizes the importance of this unified presence, commenting:
“Our wide range of compacted 61 wires copper/alu large double twist machines (up to 1250 MCM / 630 mm² and reel diameters up to 2600 mm) offers decisive advantages: a +40% increase in productivity and a -30% reduction in energy consumption compared with traditional methods. These machines can manufacture multiple LV/MV cable sections from a single input wire dimension, helping customers boost productivity and reduce operating costs. Meanwhile, we will present the machinery for the production of high-quality industrial cables featuring backtwist payoff + single twist machine technology. This solution delivers high productivity, operating 5 to 6 times faster than traditional methods.”

SETIC & POURTIER also connects its customers to all energy sources. Demand for clean energy including improved infrastructures has been on the rise in the past few years, resulting in new market challenges. SETIC & POURTIER provides the most advanced solutions to meet these challenges for sustainable clean energy and infrastructure. SETIC & POURTIER propose heavy-duty stranders, cablers, screening, planetary and armouring lines. Its high-efficiency revolutionary multiwire concentric stranding line is also widely used to boost the productivity for low and medium energy cables.
SETIC & POURTIER continue to expand its wide range of offering with a higher number of wires up to 169 for rigid stranders, together with pulling capstan up to 80 tons, and XL Drum Twisters up to 60 tons.
All of these machines are designed and manufactured with the highest standards in design and manufacturing to produce all types of high-voltage and extra-high-voltage power cables. From overhead cable (including ACCC™, ACSS-TW and ACSR-TW) to submarine or land cables AC type (using high quality Milliken conductor) or DC type (using large round compacted conductor or profiled “Keystone” wires).
Technological showcase: the DSD631-4-6M pay-off
During wire China 2026, SETIC & POURTIER will showcase a DSD631-4-6M single backtwist pay-off directly at the booth No. E1D15. Specifically dedicated to industrial cable as control, instrumentation, and data cables, this system offers exceptional flexibility for sensitive products and high-demand dynamic applications, including EV charging and battery cables.
SETIC “Made in China”: European excellence with local proximity
The group reaffirms its strong commitment to the Chinese market through its structure, Gauder Group Shanghai. This facility manufactures SETIC made in China machines, designed to the strictest European quality and performance standards while ensuring highly responsive local technical service and support.
Sustainable productivity with C2S and Bow Technology
The group’s "Green" commitment is driven by the innovations of the C2S Customer Services division, which optimizes equipment lifespan through sustainable upgrades, and Bow Technology, whose patented GreenBow2 closed-bow model enables energy savings of up to 30%.
