Prysmian Group is an Italy-based company specializing in the production of power and telecommunication cables and cable systems. It laid its first international project, a transatlantic telegraph cable, in 1925 to establish communication between Italy and South America.

Over time, its product range expanded, and new production facilities were opened in strategic markets such as Spain, the UK, North America, Argentina, and Brazil. Its continuous growth attracted attention. The company was established in 2011 following its merger with Draka, becoming the world’s largest cable manufacturer.
