Cutix Plc, one of West Africa’s leading manufacturers of electrical and telecommunications cables, recorded a successful outing at the 20th Africa International Housing Show (AIHS 2026), where it showcased cutting-edge electrical safety solutions and secured strategic business opportunities with key industry stakeholders.
The six-day exhibition, held at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, from July 13 to 18, 2026, attracted leading players in the real estate, construction and infrastructure sectors. Throughout the event, Cutix Plc engaged hundreds of local and international estate developers, engineering contractors, architects, investors and government officials, reinforcing its position as a trusted provider of high-quality cable solutions.
At its exhibition pavilion, the company showcased a broad portfolio of fire-resistant, high-performance electrical cables, earning commendation from building professionals and industry experts across Africa.
A major highlight of the exhibition was the presentation of Cutix Plc’s proprietary flame-retardant insulation technology, specifically designed to enhance building safety by significantly reducing the risk of fire spread. According to the company, the technology enables active flames to extinguish naturally within seconds while restricting flame propagation to approximately 250 millimetres, thereby improving fire safety in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
The company also displayed its Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) low-voltage power cables and heat-treated annealed copper conductors, engineered to deliver superior flexibility, durability and ease of installation while minimizing the risk of cable breakage.
Visitors witnessed live product demonstrations showcasing Cutix Plc’s strict adherence to internationally accepted cable specifications, including precise conductor diameters of 1.78mm for 2.5mm² cables and 2.25mm for 4.0mm² cables. The company further emphasized its commitment to quality assurance through its policy of supplying every cable coil at a guaranteed length of 100.5 metres, helping contractors avoid material shortages and unnecessary project costs.
Speaking during the exhibition, the Convener of the Africa International Housing Show and Chief Executive Officer of Fesadeb Communications Ltd., Barrister Festus Adebayo, commended Cutix Plc for its active participation in what has become Africa’s foremost marketplace for professionals in real estate, construction, housing and finance.
The exhibition also created significant business prospects for the company, generating sales leads and strategic partnership discussions with participants from across West Africa.
Commenting on the company’s impressive reception at AIHS 2026, the Branding, Communication and Marketing Manager of Cutix Plc, Anthony Ifeanyi Elikene, reaffirmed the company’s unwavering commitment to quality, innovation and safety.
“Cutix Plc has built its reputation on uncompromising product integrity. Every cable that leaves our production line meets and exceeds the highest quality standards. Our mission is to secure Nigerian homes and critical infrastructure with world-class cable solutions. Our message at AIHS 2026 is clear: Cutix will continue to be synonymous with quality, reliability and safety,” he said.
Established in 1982 by Engineer Obiajulu Uzodike with the vision of demonstrating that indigenous Nigerian companies can compete at global standards, Cutix Plc has continued to earn widespread local and international recognition.
Its impressive showing at AIHS 2026 further builds on an outstanding record of achievements, including recognition by the Financial Times as one of Africa’s Fastest Growing Companies, the Corporate Brand of the Year 2026 Award, and certifications from the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), British Standards (BS) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), underscoring its commitment to excellence, innovation and global best practices.
