Technology provider Rosendahl Nextrom is set to present a broad portfolio of intelligent and automated manufacturing solutions at Wire 2026, focusing on the energy, mobility, and communication sectors. At the exhibition, the company will demonstrate how advanced automation, material innovation, and AI-driven process control can address real-world production challenges while significantly boosting productivity and sustainability.
A key highlight of Rosendahl’s presentation is the introduction of its first completely standardized, high-speed insulation line. Designed to be cost-efficient and material-saving, the new line targets the most common industry use cases and delivers high output with improved material performance. In particular, it achieves new efficiency benchmarks in LSOH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) and HFFR (Halogen-Free Flame Retardant) processing, responding to growing demand for safer and more sustainable cable solutions.
In medium-voltage (MV) cable production, Rosendahl continues to advance polypropylene (PP) insulation technology. Recognizing early on the strength, efficiency, and scalability of PP insulation, the company has been refining the technology since its introduction in 2018. By taking a holistic view of the production process, Rosendahl has positioned PP as a competitive alternative for MV applications, offering advantages in performance, recyclability, and process stability.
For the energy sector, visitors will see continuous forming and welding solutions designed for water- and gas-tight applications—critical for infrastructure reliability. Building on its expertise in high-temperature polymers, Rosendahl has also developed new processes for advanced magnet wire insulation materials such as PEEK, TPI, PPSU, and PFA. These materials are increasingly important for high-performance electric motors and mobility applications, where thermal resistance and long-term durability are essential.
As AI-driven computing reshapes global infrastructure, Rosendahl and its fiber-optic specialist brand Nextrom are addressing the growing needs of modern data centers and communication networks. Their copper and fiber-optic solutions are engineered to deliver high speed, reliability, and energy efficiency for both short- and long-distance connections. Nextrom, in particular, offers a complete manufacturing toolkit for next-generation data center infrastructure, including solutions for rollable ribbons, rollable ribbon “super bundles,” and premises cables for rack-level interconnections. These technologies enable compact, high-fiber-count designs that support higher capacity within limited space.
Another standout innovation is Nextrom’s Multicolor Ringmarking technology, which allows precise fiber identification with more than 80 color combinations while maintaining minimal attenuation increase. Using a high-speed wet-on-wet process, the system produces sharp, consistent rings at speeds of up to 1,600 meters per minute, overcoming the limitations of traditional inkjet marking and enabling new cable designs with higher fiber densities.
Looking ahead, Rosendahl Nextrom is also offering a glimpse into the future of automation by taking early steps toward integrating humanoid robots into cable manufacturing. In parallel, major upgrades to the RIO line control system introduce integrated AI features that improve process precision by up to 50% and reduce start-up scrap by as much as 80%. These advancements represent a significant move toward more sustainable, high-speed, and data-driven production environments.
All innovations will be demonstrated live at Wire 2026 in Hall 9, Booth A60, where Rosendahl Nextrom aims to showcase how smart manufacturing technologies are reshaping the future of cable and wire production across multiple industries.
