PRYSMIAN GROUP

Prysmian's presence in Australia began in 1975 trading as Pirelli Cables Australlia Ltd manufacturing both power and telecommunications cables in Minto, New South Wales. Soon after, a factory site was established at Cromer, on Sydney\'s northern beaches, where the telecommunications cables manufacturing activities were relocated leaving the Minto site to focus on power cables. Following the acquisition of MM Cables in 1999, Prysmian consolidated the energy cables manufacturing activities and internal sales operations of both companies into the Liverpool site rationalizing two workforces into one, tendering transport and warehousing services and embracing structured process improvement programs such as the internationally recognised ‘Six Sigma’ and ‘5S’ efficiency programs, the world's leading methodologies in business improvement.

The global acquisition of Draka in 2011 saw the creation of The Prysmian Group, the world’s largest cable company. With a presence in 50 countries and almost 100 manufacturing plants supported by 22,000 employees, the Prysmian Group has greatly expanded its product and service offer, in terms of solutions, brands, technologies and, most importantly, customer service.

Today, from two production sites in Sydney,the Prysmian Group manufactures and supplies the most comprehensive range of energy, data and telecommunications cables for residential, commercial, industrial and infrastructure applications all over Australia as well as export markets around the world. Prysmian is a major supplier to Telecommunications Carriers, Power Utilities, Electrical Wholesalers & Contractors, Original Equipment Manufacturers, Petrochemical and Mining facilities throughout Australia with an extensive range of products designed to suit specific applications.
