- EMKA JSC is a Bulgaria-based industrial manufacturing company specializing in the design, development, and production of electrical cables, winding wires, and conductor solutions. Founded in 1936 and headquartered in Sevlievo, Bulgaria, the company operates as a publicly traded enterprise on the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE: EMKA) and functions as a core manufacturing subsidiary of the diversified industrial conglomerate Industrial Capital Holding JSC. EMKA JSC provides an extensive portfolio of electro-technical products engineered for energy distribution, industrial automation, automotive engineering, telecommunications, power transformers, and electric motor manufacturing.
The company's primary product offerings are organized across several specialized categories: Winding Wires, including round and rectangular enameled copper and aluminum wires under the THERMOTEM brand; paper-insulated rectangular copper and aluminum conductors under the TRAFEL brand; and mica-tape and glass-fiber insulated conductors designed for high-temperature and high-voltage electrical machinery; Power and Installation Cables, comprising low-voltage power cables rated up to 450/750V; flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and polyurethane (PUR) control cables; highly flexible Class 6 cables for dynamic machinery; and halogen-free flame-retardant (HFFR) installation cables; Data and Communication Cables, consisting of shielded audio-frequency cables; symmetrical data transmission cables; and signal-control wiring systems; and Bare Conductors and Raw Materials, featuring bare soft round and rectangular copper and aluminum wires for winding applications; along with proprietary PVC granulated compounds utilized for cable insulation and sheathing extrusion.
EMKA JSC serves domestic clients in Bulgaria and maintains extensive export operations across international markets, supplying equipment manufacturers and distributors throughout the European Union and Southeast Europe, including Germany, France, Austria, Greece, Hungary, and the Western Balkans. The company operates in accordance with international quality, safety, and environmental benchmarks, maintaining ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications, with product lines certified under IEC, VDE, BS, and EN standards.
In recent operational developments, EMKA JSC has focused significant capital expenditures on technological modernization, energy transition, and production efficiency. The company commissioned an expansion of its industrial on-site photovoltaic solar park to approximately 1 MW of generation capacity at its Sevlievo manufacturing base to reduce operational carbon intensity and offset energy costs. Additionally, EMKA JSC implemented and completed a specialized local battery energy storage system (BESS) project supported by the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy to ensure peak-load power management and grid stability. Alongside ongoing automation and extrusion line upgrades to increase the throughput of specialized halogen-free and flexible cable product lines, the facility's power infrastructure was further enhanced through complete high-voltage substation modernization to support increased industrial production capacity.
