The CTC Cable division of Irvine, California based Composite Technology Corp. has emerged as a leading supplier of a key power transmission component to Chinese companies and comparable power suppliers throughout the world. CTC Cable has designed and manufactures the ACCC conductor. The American small business has challenged several giant firms and is credited with helping China to achieve its industrial growth despite the global economic slump.

"Energy and environment seem to be the two magic E's -focusing on everyone's concern for greater efficiency, cleaner communities and relying on products that last, function effectively and take care of business without additional expense," said Hector Barreto, former administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration and Honorary Chairman of Business Matchmaking. "With the problems facing many giant firms, it is not surprising that a small business has found a way to become a leader in its field," he added.

According to Benton Wilcoxon, a global industry pioneer and CEO/Chairman of the parent corporation, "CTC's products now serve areas of Shanghai, Beijing, Shenhzen, Wuxi, Longyan, Nam Ping, Puzin and dozens of other Chinese cities where that nation's power companies have elected to replace conventional transmission conductors with our high performance new technology."

In layman's terms, this means that stronger conductors allow for fewer and more widely spaced electrical transmission towers throughout the world's most populous nation resulting in a huge cost savings. It also means using higher capacity conductors that are stronger than steel while being lighter weight thus avoiding, in many cases, new tower construction and new rights-of-way.

CTC's patented conductors have earned the respect of their industry peers and public and private users around the world for that low weight, capacity expansion and durability. In addition to the many Chinese sites, CTC's products are now installed throughout the U.S. and in Spain, Poland, the United Kingdom, France, Chile, Belgium and Mexico.

Although financial challenges have prevented power companies in many U.S. cities from modernizing their electrical lines, using the CTC's conductor has allowed modernization in diverse communities ranging from Denver, Colorado to Austin, Texas and from Salt Lake City, Utah to Phoenix, Arizona. Smaller towns have also come to rely on the long term savings and long life service of the CTC cables which connect towns like Kingman, Kansas and Holland, Michigan.

America's new stimulus package has targeted the nation's infrastructure clearly including a plan to improve the reliability and efficiency of the nation's power grid. CTC Cable is perfectly poised to play a major role in that conversion and to help the United States lead in doing the same for the world's electrical transmission system.

"Every community would like to reduce its power generation but still transmit the same amount of power. That's what our conductor makes possible," said CTC President Marvin Sepe.

CTC's leadership achievement is made more dramatic by the fact they are a small business. With only 120 employees, the high profile division of Composite Technology Corporation has successfully done competitive battle with many of the major companies in this field around the world - and has won.
