Prysmian Group is a Milan‑headquartered, publicly listed cable and systems manufacturer that serves the global energy and telecommunications sectors. With more than 150 years of experience, it operates in over 50 countries through about 100 manufacturing plants and a network of R&D centres, employing roughly 33,000 people and generating over €17 billion in annual sales. The Group is a true public company with 100% free float and a shareholder base dominated by institutional investors, and its shares trade on the Milan Stock Exchange within the FTSE MIB index.
The business is structured around four main market segments: Transmission, Power Grid, Electrification and Digital Solutions, complemented by Asset Monitoring Systems & Electronics. Prysmian designs, manufactures and often installs underground and submarine high‑voltage cables and systems for power transmission and distribution, including interconnectors between countries and grid connections for generation assets such as offshore wind farms, where it is a recognised global leader in cable supply. It also supplies medium- and low‑voltage cables for construction and infrastructure, specialised industrial cables, and a comprehensive telecom portfolio spanning optical fibre, optical and copper cables, connectivity systems and submarine telecom solutions. Dedicated service offerings cover installation, condition assessment and monitoring, including PRY‑CAM diagnostics and oil & gas field services.
Prysmian positions itself as a cabling solutions provider driving the energy transition and digital transformation. Its diversified geographic and business mix, expanded through acquisitions such as Draka, General Cable and more recently Encore Wire and Channell, underpins a strategy focused on high‑value technologies, efficiency and long‑term project execution. Sustainability is embedded in both products and assets, exemplified by its net‑zero, LEED Platinum‑certified Milan headquarters and group‑wide programs to cut carbon emissions, increase circularity and grow revenues from sustainable solutions.
