The Prysmian Group has consolidated its leadership position in
the design, development, production, supply and installation
of terrestrial and submarine cables and systems operating at
high and ultra-high voltages for the transmission of electricity,
for the Oil, Gas & Petrochemicals industry, for transportation
and for the renewable energy sector, as well as of optical
cables for the transmission of voice, video and data.
Quality, an ability to innovate and high value-added solutions
mark Prysmian’s strategic approach in every sector: those in
which technology is a differentiating factor and those that are
more standardised, such as medium and low voltage cables.
The constant development and improvement of distribution
and communications networks are key to achieving the
objective of supplying power efficiently and effectively, and
to improving the level of worldwide telecommunications.
Modern, reliable, eco-sustainable and efficient electricity
grids and telecommunications networks are both critical and
strategic for the growth of the global economy. Prysmian is
world leader in these sectors. Our products supply electricity
and lighting to cities, enable people to move around and
communicate with each other, and contribute to the steady
industrial development of the sectors in which we operate.
Prysmian products are central to the concept of sustainability.
They are used in the construction of the world’s largest wind
and solar farms, of infrastructure that accelerates the flow
of information and communications between communities
throughout the world while reducing energy losses, and of
terrestrial and submarine electricity links that improve the
efficiency of the entire electrical power network. Our product
responsibility is considered throughout the entire life cycle
of each product, from design to delivery, by constantly
monitoring performance against specific standards.
For this reason, the Group strives constantly to develop
innovative and technologically advanced solutions that
strengthen our leadership and meet the requirements of our
commercial partners and the end users of our products.
