JDR Cables Inks MOU with Taya Group

Cables manufacturer JDR Cables said it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Taya Group, an electric wire and land cable manufacturer in Taiwan, which will see two companies collaborate on localization opportunities on future renewable energy projects in the area, with a specific focus on building a stronger Taiwanese offshore wind supply chain.

In partnership with Taya Group, JDR, part of the TFKable Group, said it aims to transfer key technical expertise and utilize Taya Group’s products and services in future project work. The companies intend to discuss areas where localization can take place and where they can best support each other.

Gary Howland, Sales Manager at JDR, called Taiwan "one of the most exciting and ambitious emerging markets for renewable energy", and  noted that JDR is currently the leading subsea cable supplier in the country.
