Investment of US$ 55 M to produce cables for power transmission and distribution<\/p>\n

Prysmian forecast around \u20ac200 M sales in Russia in 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

Prysmian Group, world leader in the energy and telecom cables and systems industry, has opened today, in the presence of Prysmian Group\u2019s CEO Valerio Battista, the Governor of the Yaroslavl Region Yastrebov Sergey Nikolaevich and the Italian Ambassador in Russia Cesare Maria Ragaglini, its new medium and high voltage cable production facility in Rybinsk, in the Russian Yaroslavl region, as the latest step in its expansion plans in Russia.<\/p>\n

After the acquisition in 2009 of Rybinskelectrocabel, one of Russia\u2019s most dynamic cable manufacturers, with the aim of building up local production capacity in high-tech business areas such as High Voltage and Industrial cables, the Group\u2019s expansion in Russia continued following the merger between Prysmian and Draka, with the integration in 2011 of the St. Petersburg\u2019s Neva Cable factory, which makes telecom copper and optical cables.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe US$ 55 M total investment in the Russian market will allow us to start producing Medium Voltage and High Voltage cables locally, using manufacturing processes that meet the best quality standards of the Group and the best-in-class technology of the cable industry,\u201d explains Cesare Biggiogera, CEO Prysmian Group Russia. \u201cThis is a mandatory step if we want to be a partner to Russia\u2019s power transmission and distribution companies, and it will help us to reach the forecast sales target of around \u20ac200 million in 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Rybinsk plant, which also produces cables for the oil and gas industry, fire performance cables (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) and auto wires, will soon supply the full range of applications in the energy cable business, including medium voltage cables up to 35 kV and high voltage cables up to 330 kV with maximum cross-section 2500 mm2 and cross-linked polyethylene insulation. <\/p>\n

The production area stretches across 120,000 m2, of which 30,000 m2 under cover. The new facility will add 10,000 tonnes of production capacity, bringing the total potential production of Rybinskelectrocabel to 25,000 tonnes per year. The plant will employ more than 300 people, adding 100 to the existing 220 currently working on the site. This will allow the Yaroslavl region to become Russia\u2019s leading area for cable and wire production, with the total production capacity of Prysmian and the region\u2019s other cable manufacturers meeting 20% of Russia\u2019s energy cable demand.<\/p>\n

The opening of this new facility represents a fundamental step in the Group\u2019s plans to expand in the Russian market. The start of local production undoubtedly represents a competitive advantage for Prysmian and will help strengthen the Group\u2019s presence in this high-potential market. In recent years the Group has been involved in developing a High Voltage network in St. Petersburg, and in upgrading the Moscow transmission grid. In the telecoms sector, Prysmian has deployed its FTTH systems in several of Russia\u2019s major cities, and the Neva Cable factory is currently being renovated, switching its production from standard copper telecom cables to optical fibre and OPGW cables, to better match the needs of the Russian telecom market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
