About

We specialize in designing, manufacturing, and testing underwater cable hardware and assemblies. Over many decades we have earned a global reputation for providing the right products at the right time, which ultimately reduces costs by increasing productivity and equipment service life.

PMI is committed to providing the military, commercial, and scientific communities with the most robust cable and hardware systems available.

The robustness of our products drives survivability, a single word that describes the expert engineering PMI Industries puts into cable system design.

PMI provides underwater cable products and services to customers worldwide. We partner closely with our customers working in ocean industries and educational and research institutions exploring marine frontiers.

In 1969, PMI emerged in the underwater engineering market by introducing the helical wire concept for use on underwater cables.

As we continued to develop underwater cable terminations, we earned a reputation for manufacturing highly reliable underwater cable systems, assemblies, and products.

Today, we offer full-service engineering from concept to production, cable hardware and kits, cable protection and management, custom cable systems, and simulated at-sea testing services.

In January 2017, PMI was ISO 9001: 2015 with Design certified.

As the world’s leading provider of underwater cable products and systems, PMI has built a reputation for delivering quality, innovative products and the highest levels of customer service. How do we maintain our high standards? We do it by attracting the industry’s most talented individuals from across all disciplines. PMI has a fast-paced, challenging environment that encourages growth, fosters teamwork, and rewards results.

PMI creates high-end, custom-engineered underwater cable hardware designed to guard against ocean cable and equipment damage, extend service life, and maintain cable integrity in extreme underwater environments. Our cable hardware is proven to reduce the cost of maintaining subsea cables over time.

To help minimize the impact of equipment costs, we work closely with each customer to find a solution within budget. We create top-quality cable hardware for a variety of subsea applications, but if you need something a little more specific to your operations, we can custom-engineer parts to your specifications.

The result: Our clients increase efficiency and quickly realize a significant return on investment.
