We are designing, manufacturing and delivering a range of cables for the Royal Navy Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carrier programme and we have delivered cables for prestige projects such as Manchester Airport, the White City complex and Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham.

AEI's products come with the assurance of a range of approvals from independent bodies including BASEC and LPCB covering design, manufacture and supply. We also hold approvals from organisations such as Lloyds, MoD, Network Rail and LUL, and work to international standards around the world, including US and Canadian approval systems.

Cables for naval ships and aircraft carriers

We have been awarded a major contract to supply cables to help build the next generation of aircraft carriers for the British fleet, the largest ships to enter service in the UK.

The Aircraft Carrier Alliance awarded the prestigious contract to AEI Cables for the Royal Navy Queen Elizabeth Class Aircraft Carrier programme.

Working with our partners, we will be designing and manufacturing the full range of cable and wiring to supply power, lighting, data communications, fire protection and alarm circuits, which need to operate in the most demanding of conditions.

Meanwhile, we have been supplying cabling for the new Type 45 Anti Air Warfare Destroyer programme for the Royal Navy. An extensive range of cables for the programme to prime contractor BAE Systems includes control cables, weapons cables and medium voltage propulsion cables as the main source of power.
