The company offers a comprehensive range of products and services through its four main business lines: Solutions, which focuses on high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and alternating current (HVAC) power cable systems for interconnectors, offshore wind farms, and power-from-shore projects; Applications, providing low- and medium-voltage power cables for building, renewable energy, and industrial applications; Accessories, supplying cable joints, connectors, and terminations for medium- to high-voltage cables; and Service & Installation, delivering cable jointing, repairing, and monitoring services. NKT operates modern manufacturing facilities primarily in Europe and serves customers across more than 30 markets worldwide.

In recent developments, NKT executed a strategic acquisition of SolidAl – Condutores Eléctricos, S.A., a Portugal-based power cable manufacturer, in June 2024. This acquisition expanded NKT's medium- and high-voltage production capacity to meet growing demand from grid upgrades and renewable energy projects in Europe. Alongside this, the company announced a new corporate strategy named "Charging Forward" in November 2025, outlining medium-term financial ambitions through 2030 and accompanying organizational updates to better execute its strategic priorities. Financial performance in 2025 has been robust, highlighted by double-digit organic growth and record-high operational EBITDA, driven by high project activity and expanded production capabilities. Additionally, NKT is progressing with the construction of a new cable-laying vessel to support offshore cable installations, expected to be operational from 2027.
NKT's products and services are geared towards the energy sector, focusing on sustainable and reliable power transmission infrastructure. The company's specialized expertise includes high-voltage power cable solutions for offshore and onshore transmission, renewable energy integration, and electrical infrastructure supporting industrial, commercial, and residential markets.
