Helmacab Oy is a Finnish cable manufacturer whose identity is shaped by more than a century of industrial heritage and a recent transformation rooted in the legacy of Helkama Bica Oy. The company’s history extends back to early Finnish cable production in the twentieth century, and in 2024 it adopted the Helmacab name after the organization formerly known as Helkama Bica Oy underwent a full rebranding. This change followed the earlier incorporation of its Dutch subsidiary in 2023, which unified the group under a single brand. The transition did not alter the company’s long-established expertise but instead aligned its international operations under one coherent identity.
From its base in Finland, Helmacab focuses on cables used in demanding environments, with the marine and offshore sectors forming a central part of its activity. Decades of cooperation with shipyards, vessel operators, and offshore contractors have strengthened its role within these industries, where reliable cabling is essential for power distribution, onboard control systems, and communication infrastructures. The company supplies cables designed to withstand vibration, moisture, heat, and other conditions characteristic of shipboard and offshore installations, making marine projects one of its most deeply rooted market areas.
Helmacab operates manufacturing facilities in Hanko and Kaarina, supported by another production site in Shanghai. Its European logistics and service hub in the Netherlands offers customized handling, preparation, and delivery for international maritime projects. This structure allows the company to serve customers in numerous countries while maintaining consistent production standards. Hundreds of employees contribute to manufacturing, engineering, and project support across these locations.
A key part of Helmacab’s offering involves preparing cables according to project specifications, which helps shipyards and offshore contractors reduce installation time and complexity. Through its long heritage, global reach, and continued specialization in marine and offshore cabling, Helmacab plays a steady and practical role in supporting vessels, marine infrastructure, and offshore developments worldwide.
