JDR Cable Systems was formed in the early 1990s when two of the most respected names in the industry, Jacques Cable Systems (UK) and De Regt Special Cable (Holland) merged. The company has in excess of 75 years combined experience in the design and manufacture of bespoke cables, umbilical systems, and towed marine cables frequently used in harsh, dynamic, subsea environments.

JDR has enjoyed an unprecedented period of expansion and growth over the last decade supplying numerous high profile projects for clients worldwide and receiving a Queen's Award for Enterprise in 2010. This special award is in recognition of the company’s success in International Trade for the period from April 2006 to March 2009.
