Factory :
Kabelwerk Eupen AG
The history of family-owned Kabelwerk EUPEN AG starts  back in 1747 with the founding of the rope factory “J.P.  Bourseaux & Söhne”. At that time, the family Bourseaux  produced jute ropes and hawsers in a small workshop.  About 150 years later, the brothers Carl and August  Bourseaux combined their expertise with their  entrepreneurial spirit and started with the production  of electrical cables. A promising decision because soon  after that, cables and wires were needed on an extensive  scale due to the emerging electrification.
The cable business developed well and the company  management acquired further facilities and implemented  new production processes and techniques. Within the year  1908, the first wire drawing machine was put into  operation and “Kabel und Gummiwerke Eupen AG”, the  predecessor company of the present Kabelwerk EUPEN AG  was founded. The demand for cable products from Eupen  constantly grew. In the early 1920s, elastomer and  neoprene compounds were introduced. Apart from cable  production, these compounds were used for the production  of rubber soles and bicycle tires. This business  activity was maintained until the 1970s. At the end of  the 1920s, the business had turned into a large company  in the cable industry and had become an important  employer in the region. At the start of the 1930s, the  production of paper insulated and lead sheathed medium  voltage power cables was launched. About 20 years later,  new compounds found their way into cable production: PVC  (polyvinyl chloride) and PE (polyethylene) were from  this time on used as insulation and sheathing materials.
