US-based Westinghouse Electric Company and Canada’s Shawflex have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to support nuclear new-build projects in Canada and globally. Under the agreement, Shawflex could provide cables, connectors and assemblies for Westinghouse projects.
“Westinghouse currently relies on Shawflex to supply products for our global instrumentation and control production shop in Warrendale, Pennsylvania, for plant upgrades and replacement projects,” said Dan Lipman, President of Westinghouse Energy Systems. “Their known expertise will help support the deployment of AP1000, AP300 and eVinci projects in Canada and around the world.”
Shawflex’s manufacturing headquarters is located in Rexdale, Ontario, where it is a leading supplier of electrical wire and cable. This year, the manufacturing headquarters are moving to a brand-new facility with expanded capacity in Vaughan, Ontario. The company has more than 40 years of experience designing complex cable configurations to meet the demanding requirements of the nuclear power industry.
“Shawflex’s nuclear wire, cable and assembly solutions are a great fit for Westinghouse’s advanced nuclear power projects,” said Jarrod Shugg, Vice President and General Manager, Shawflex. “We are ready to leverage our high-quality Canadian manufacturing and decades of nuclear experience in support of Westinghouse’s vision to expand the power of clean energy around the globe.”
John Gorman, President of Westinghouse Canada, noted: “Extending our relationship with Shawflex enhances our supply chain for Westinghouse’s global instrument and controls business while providing opportunities to support nuclear new-build projects in Canada and beyond.”
