The decision on organizing the IA “Intercable” was carried out in April 1990 in Kotor (Yugoslavia) and the Protocol of intentions was signed. In autumn 1990, in Aprilzi (Bulgaria) the establishing Agreement and the Constitution of the International Association “Intercable”, were sign by 15 companies from Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Germany (former DDR), Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and USSR.

It is necessary to point out that the Association was created in the time of existing of socialism in some countries of Eastern Europe and USSR and it was not that easy in such conditions.

The members of the Association united their efforts for realization of their technical and commercial activity and also for rendering assistance in mutual fulfillment of scientific-research and technological design works. They are working together in the fields of development of the cooperation in cables and cable machinery production, while organizing joint ventures and productions, and of course in the field of standardization and unification. Working languages of the Association became English and Russian. From the very beginning IA “Intercable” followed the policy of “open doors”, orienting towards broadening its membership not only by producers of cables and cable machinery but also by producers of cable materials and trading firms.
