A total of 31 engineering students from the Faculty of Engineering and Technology (FET) participated in the industrial visit session to Central Cables Bhd (CCB) in Batu Berendam, Melaka on 7 December 2021. Organised by the Industrial Linkage Committee (ILC) of the faculty, the session kicked off with a brief introduction of the background and the business culture of CCB by Mr. Zakrysham Zainal Bahry, its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Mr. Syed Ahmad Syed Sheikh, Senior Executive Technical & Product Design. The company offers a wide range of electrical transmission and distribution from 500 kV transmission lines down to electrical wires at home.
The session continued with a factory tour, where the students were divided into small groups. The students obtained hands-on experience on the production of copper and aluminium cable wire processes starting from drawing process, stranding process, triple extrusion, armouring process, and others. This visit has surely helped the students to gain new knowledge and input related to heavy industrial machines.
