Prysmian to take part in major exhibitions
In the current environment of
lower demand and increasing
competition, the market trends
have to be anticipated by listening
to the clients and being capable
of reacting promptly to what they
signal. That’s why Prysmian Group
has begun to aggressively leverage
its extensive product portfolio. What
does this mean? That clients are no
more regarded as a buyer of what
they buy on regular basis, such
as products and services, but as a
potential customer that deserves
to be listened to and anticipated
in its possible need of a wider range
of diversified products and services.
Among other things, this approach
would also allow further exploitation
of the combination with Draka: not
just through synergies but through
additional leveraging on a wider basis.
Prysmian Group has already
started implementing this customer
proximity strategy as it launched
new commercial initiatives and
actions focused mainly on leveraging
on the extensive range of available
products, which are expected to
drive a significant contribution
from additional sales. In detail,
the Industrial cables business
is expected to deliver over
€
200 million, resulting from the
development of applications in
Specialties & OEM, Oil&Gas and
Elevator. Also the Telecom cables
business is expected to deliver
approximately
€
200 million in new
sales along the same line, namely in
the segments of Hybrid 4G cables,
Access networks & connectivity,
Multi Media Solutions and Optical
Ground Wires.
