Our History

2001 - 2005

KABTEL dooel – Skopje started its commercial operations in October 2001 as a 100% private capital company.
It commenced  moderately with just two employees Mr. Goran MITRESKI and Mrs. Anita DJUKOVIC and continuously increased the number  of its employees. Today KABTEL belongs to the category of medium-sized Macedonian companies with over 50 employees. In an extremely short period, KABTEL emerged as a leader of the new wave of ICT services and expertise m the country with the highest quality level of services and direct communication with customers. which has set new standards.
At the very start, KABTEL officially becomes the general and exclusive distributor of Nexans, formerly known under the brand of Alcatel Cables & Components, and nowadays a well-known and the largest manufacturer of cables and cable systems & accessories worldwide. Nexans’ name is a synonym for top-quality solutions with an extremely high degree of reliability and R&D investments. Not long after, in 2002, KABTEL is part of the project of the Electrical Power Company of Macedonia (ESM) where it delivers and installs the equipment from Nexans Cabling Solutions category LANmark-6 Class E. Also in 2002, with a great vision for the invaluable importance of cybersecurity KABTEL expands its portfolio and partners with one of the world’s best vendors in the field – Kaspersky, obtaining the distribution rights for Macedonia, Kosovo, and Albania. Through the course of several years, KABTEL successfully delivers and implements solutions provided by these two vendors in different governmental, public, and private institutions. In 2004, it obtains the status of a Certified Regional Training Center of Nexans Cabling Solutions. Ran by highly-skilled Nexans certified trainers its mission is to transfer some of the expertise to other companies in the field of communications regarding the design and implementation of LAN networking solutions.
