2017 Yearly Overview | Prysmian Group

CUSTOMER CENTRICITY: OUR KEY TO SUCCESS PRYSMIAN GROUP 2017 YEARLY OVERVIEW In the power infrastructure arena, we’ve been involved in the construction of electricity grids in some of the world's largest metropolises, from New York to Buenos Aires, London to St. Petersburg, and Hong Kong to Sydney. Prysmian is heading a consortium of seven companies for the construction of the new HVDC interconnector between Italy and France, known as ‘Piedmont-Savoy’. The project will play a strategic role in enhancing energy security and enabling an energy exchange of up to 1,200 MW between Italy and France. The Group also supports the petrochemicals industry with solutions for both upstream exploration and production activities, and downstream hydrocarbon processing and storage. These offerings range from power, instrumentation and control cables to SURF and DHT products and services, which include umbilical cables for offshore platforms and high-tech flexible pipes used in oil extraction. In the sector of renewable energy generation and distribution, Prysmian has played a major role in the development of some of the most important solar and wind farms in the world, such as the Ohotnikovo Solar Power Station – a photovoltaic plant in Ukraine – and the main wind farms in Southern Italy. Between late 2017 and early 2018, the Group was awarded a cable contract to link the floating Kincardine Offshore Wind Farm to mainland UK, marking our entry into this emerging sector. We have also participated in research and development projects such as Energy Observer, the world's first catamaran powered entirely by renewable energy sources, and Solar Impulse 2, a special solar-powered aircraft set to circumnavigate the globe to demonstrate that power from renewable sources is now a reality. Our fire-resistant cables can be found at the very heart of some of the world's most spectacular, state-of-the art constructions , including: Wimbledon tennis stadium; the futuristic Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, and the Shard skyscraper in London, the tallest in Western Europe. This list was expanded in 2017 to include the new Louvre Abu Dhabi, in which 500 km of FP fire- resistant cables were installed to ensure visitor safety and protection of the works of art. InMilan, Prysmian Group cable solutions have contributed to enhancing the safety of the Allianz Tower, the skyscraper designed by renowned Japanese architect Isozaki and inaugurated in 2017 in the futuristic CityLife district. Our Elevator business’s cables are present in some of the world's tallest and most prestigious buildings, such as the new One World Trade Center in New York City. At the Burj Khalifa in Dubai – the world's tallest building at 828 metres high – Prysmian has guaranteed the safety of every one of its 162 floors with elevator and fire-resistant cables, the lengths of which are more than 1,300 times the tower's height. There have also been watershed moments in the transport industry . Prysmian has cabled some of the world's biggest aircraft and ships, including the Airbus A380 and the Royal Caribbean's GENESIS. We have also provided cable for some of the fastest trains and most innovative metro systems, including Shanghai. Three million passengers on the London Underground for example, travel each day through 400 km of tunnels, thanks to Prysmian and Draka fire-resistant cables. With a wide range of fibre solutions for voice, video and data, continuous investment in R&D and around 30 dedicated manufacturing facilities, Prysmian Group is the world's top manufacturer of telecom cables , with which it contributes to developing infrastructure that supports information flow and communication between communities around the world.
