has for a long time collaborated with Nexam Chemical to produce materials that meet the high standards of semiconductor encapsulation materials. Semiconductors are included in the components of most of the electronics we currently have around us, such as mobile phones, computers and so on. As components become smaller, the demands on heat resistance have increased.

the global population continues to grow, potash, one of the key ingredients in agricultural fertiliser, will play an increasingly important role in the world’s future. To meet the growing demand, Mosaic, the world’s leading producer of potash and phosphate crop nutrients, has selected Nexans to supply power cables and support services for its $1.7 billion expansion project which will make its K3 facility in Canada the world’s largest potash mine by 2024. The Mosaic Company chose Nexans for its ability to deliver high-quality, innovative cables designed to last longer in the harshest mining environments. Nexans will also provide its industryleading mine site cable training, education and engineering support. “We look forward to supporting Mosaic K3’s ambitious growth plan in the framework of the contract that reinforces Nexans’ position as the cable solutions leader in underground and open pit mining,” said Steven Vermeulen, Nexans Executive VP Americas. “This agreement builds on a 10-year relationship between our organisations as well as a strong cooperation with our distribution partner, whose ability to handle logistics and cable management perfectly complements our superior and proven solutions.” Visit: www.nexans.com “So far we have been focused on high temperature composites in the high performance area. We now have a first customer within semiconductors and we see opportunities for interesting projects together with several players, which in the long run can lead to business,” says Anders Spetz, CEO at Nexam Chemical.
