Cutix Plc, one of West Africa's leading manufacturers of electrical and telecommunications cables, strengthened its position in Nigeria's construction and infrastructure sector with a strong showing at the 20th Africa International Housing Show (AIHS 2026), where it showcased its innovative cable technologies and secured strategic business prospects.
The six-day exhibition, held at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, attracted real estate developers, engineering contractors, architects, policymakers and construction professionals from across Africa, providing Cutix Plc with a platform to demonstrate its commitment to quality, safety and innovation.
Throughout the exhibition, the company showcased its range of fire-resistant and high-durability electrical cables, with particular emphasis on its flame-retardant insulation technology designed to improve building safety by slowing the spread of fire.
The company explained that the technology enables active flames to extinguish naturally within seconds while significantly limiting flame propagation, thereby enhancing safety in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
Cutix also demonstrated its Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) low-voltage power cables and heat-treated annealed copper conductors, designed to provide greater flexibility, durability and ease of installation.
Visitors to the company's exhibition stand were taken through live demonstrations highlighting Cutix Plc's strict adherence to internationally accepted cable specifications, including precise conductor diameters and its guaranteed 100.5-metre cable coil standard, aimed at protecting contractors from 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 Limited, Barrister Festus Adebayo, commended Cutix Plc for participating in Africa's premier housing and construction exhibition, describing the event as an important platform for advancing innovation across the real estate and building sectors.
The exhibition also created opportunities for new business relationships, with the company attracting sales enquiries and partnership discussions from participants across West Africa.
Commenting on the company's participation, the Branding, Communication and Marketing Manager of Cutix Plc, Anthony Ifeanyi Elikene, reaffirmed the company's commitment to quality and safety.
"Cutix Plc has built its reputation on uncompromising product integrity. Every product leaving our factory meets and exceeds the highest quality standards. Our mission is to secure homes and infrastructure with reliable, high-quality cables. At AIHS 2026, we are reinforcing our commitment to ensuring that Cutix remains synonymous with quality and safety."
Founded in 1982 by Engineer Obiajulu Uzodike, Cutix Plc has grown into one of Nigeria's leading indigenous cable manufacturers, earning recognition for maintaining global manufacturing standards.
The company's participation at AIHS 2026 builds on a growing list of industry recognitions, including being named among the Financial Times' Africa's Fastest Growing Companies, winning the Corporate Brand of the Year 2026 Award, and maintaining certifications from the Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON), British Standards (BS) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
