Habia|HEW-KABEL is an international specialty cable manufacturer with over 60 years of experience, headquartered in Wipperfürth, Germany, operating five production locations with a workforce of over 400 people worldwide. The company develops and produces customized cable solutions for demanding applications across sectors including life-saving therapies, clean energy generation, safe vehicles, and smarter industrial facilities.
The product range spans flat cables, heating cables, heat-resistant cables, ultra-flex cables, high-voltage cables, hybrid cables, medical cables, miniature cables, sensor cables, and control cables - all engineered for environments where standard cabling fails. Technical capabilities include wire drawing, electroplating, and silicone compounding, supporting the kind of material science work that goes into cables deployed in high-temperature, high-voltage, or medically critical contexts.
For cybersecurity professionals, the relevant surface area here is industrial: OT networks running across production lines, medical device supply chains where cable integrity is a safety issue, and energy infrastructure where a compromised sensor cable or control line could have physical-world consequences. The company's footprint across critical verticals means IT and OT security teams are defending systems where the boundary between digital threat and material harm is thin.
