Portuguese operation of the Coficab automotive cable group, with a large factory in Guarda supplying low-voltage wires, battery cables, and high-voltage harness cables to European automotive OEMs. Named Swedish customers include Scania and Volvo Trucks through Tier-1 wiring harness integrators.
Coficab’s Guarda plant is one of the largest automotive wiring factories in Portugal, producing low-voltage wires, battery cables, and high-voltage harness cables for European automotive OEMs. Its output feeds directly into the Tier-1 harness industry that serves Swedish heavy-truck makers Scania and Volvo Trucks, as well as European passenger-car OEMs.
The Guarda operation is part of Portugal’s broader automotive supply-chain cluster — alongside Autoeuropa, PSA/Stellantis, and a dense Tier-1/Tier-2 base — that turns the country into a quiet, large-volume supplier of components flowing into Scandinavian vehicle assembly.
Coficab’s Portugal-to-Nordic flow is representative of an underreported piece of the corridor: Portuguese manufacturing capacity embedded deep in Swedish heavy-industry supply chains. For Nordic OEMs evaluating Portuguese suppliers, Coficab is a reference for scale, quality systems, and European logistics from an Iberian factory.
2026: Coficab continues to scale its high-voltage cable capacity in Guarda to serve the electrification of European commercial vehicles, including Scania and Volvo Trucks programmes.
