INTRAL inc. is a dynamic, technology and service-oriented business. INTRAL was formed in 1993 to manufacture aluminium-clad steel wire and cable products for worldwide Utilities markets. In 2000, Intral expanded its operations to serve the aluminium tubing and extruded bars market.
INTRAL is currently supplying the world's leading manufacturers of fiber-optic ground wire (OPGW) in North America, Europe and other countries around the world.
Although the supply of OPGW-grade, aluminium-clad steel wire is INTRAL's core business, other products include static ground wire, guy strand and wire for preforming applications.
In its Princeville, Quebec factory, INTRAL uses modern, Conform extrusion technology to apply a continuous layer of aluminium over a steel core wire. The proper selection of temperature and pressure in the extrusion chamber causes a metallurgical bond to be formed at the aluminum-steel interface. This results in a high degree of corrosion-resistance as well as excellent heat dissipation and conductive properties.
INTRAL has combined the most advanced manufacturing and process control technology with an operations management philosophy which inspires both individual initiative and teamwork.
Employees have been carefully selected for their technological aptitude, versatility and interpersonal skills. All have received extensive training in the fundamentals of the manufacturing process, allowing them to master the current technology and to reach beyond in a continuous search for excellence.
INTRAL has a fully integrated, quality assurance management system which is accredited according to ISO-9001:2000. From our Company's inception, quality assurance and ISO-9001:2000 accreditation have been key corporate objectives.
The quality assurance management system consists of a series of controls and tests which are carried out as follows :
All manufacturing and other procedures have been carefully documented and quality assurance responsibilities assigned to specific individuals.
INTRAL's quality assurance management system is formally audited every two years by the Quality Management Institute to ensure that all aspects of ISO 9001:2000 are being respected.
