Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecoms cable industry, today presented its renewed optical fibre production facility in Douvrin, France, following the completion of an important investment, in a meeting with Antoines Darodes, Director of the French national organization Agence du Num\u00e9rique – Mission Tr\u00e8s Haut D\u00e9bit.<\/p>\n
With a total plant area of 155,000 m\u00b2 and 348 employees, the Douvrin facility is the biggest European plant for the fibre optic production and one of the 11 Prysmian plants in France. Prysmian Group, the number one producer of optical fibre in Europe (and, in particular, in France), has the ability to work with all existing manufacturing processes, including its proprietary plasma vapour deposition technologies. <\/p>\n
Every year this plant produces 25 Mkm of fibre preforms, part of which is drawn into fibre on site and the rest is exported to be drawn elsewhere. The Group has recently completed its investment of approximately \u20ac15m in the plant to increase its production capacity in order to match the growing market demand. Part of these investments have been co-funded by the French Government and local institutions, in a joint effort to increase Europe\u2019s competitiveness that results from investment in quality technologies. <\/p>\n
As one department of \u201cAgence du Num\u00e9rique\u201d, \u201cMission Tr\u00e8s Haut D\u00e9bit\u201d was established by the French Government in December 2012 and was primarily responsible for defining the implementation modalities of full coverage of the territory at very high speed. This led to the creation of \u201cPlan France Tr\u00e8s Haut D\u00e9bit\u201d in spring 2013 which Mission Tr\u00e8s Haut D\u00e9bit managed in connection with the other various administrations involved in its implementation. Among its functions, the association currently aims at providing economic, technical and operational support to local authorities, and helps local governments in the development and implementation of coding conventions and monitoring deployments.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are delighted that Mr. Darodes accepted our invitation to visit our renewed plant\u201d said Philippe Vanhille, Executive Vice President, Telecom at Prysmian Group \u201cHis visit clearly demonstrates how the entire supply chain is important for Agence du Num\u00e9rique- Mission THD, from the very beginning (production of preforms and fibre) to the installation of high quality, very high bit rate optical networks in relation with local governments and telecom operators. The visit confirms the role of Prysmian Group as an active player in the debate on broadband deployment in Europe, while maintaining its commitment to innovation and remaining a leader in the optical fibre sector worldwide\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
