Prysmian is an Italian company that makes cables and wiring systems used to move electricity and data around the world. Its main products include high-voltage power cables, submarine cables that run under oceans, fiber optic cables, and industrial wiring. Customers include electric utilities, telecom companies, governments, and construction firms. Prysmian is the largest cable manufacturer in the world by revenue.

The company earns money by selling cables and related installation services, with pricing tied partly to copper and aluminum commodity costs. It operates in over 50 countries across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Australia, giving it a truly global footprint. Its scale, specialized engineering for complex submarine and high-voltage projects, and long-term contracts with utilities create meaningful barriers for smaller competitors. The biggest growth driver is the global buildout of electricity grids and offshore wind farms, though rising raw material costs and project execution risks remain ongoing challenges.
