History

Sevkabel was founded in 1879 by the St.Petersburg subsidiary of the German company Siemens & Halske.[1] Following the Russian Revolution in 1917, the company was nationalized. By 1931 Sevkabel was making paper-insulated, lead-covered high voltage cables, the first to be produced in Russia. During the Siege of Leningrad in 1942, Sevkabel produced over 100 km of submarine medium-voltage cable which was laid on the bed of Lake Ladoga, restoring the energy supply of the besieged city from Volkhov Hydroelectric Station.[2] In 1993 Sevkabel was privatized. In 2017-19, the historical part of the Sevkabel plant on the shore of Vasilyevsky Island was redeveloped, being transformed into an art hub, Sevkabel Port.[3]
