CABLING Gland Pack Evolution Remember
A century of cables from Prysmian
2
0th January 1914 saw Pirelli cables sign the agreement to build its first cable factory in the
UK. 100 years later the company - now called Prysmian Group - is not
only the
manufacturer in the world but, competitors,
largest cable unlike its continues its commitment to
manufacturing in the UK. To celebrate 100 years of continuous production the company will be running a series of commemorative events at its various sites around the county throughout 2014. The first of these was held yesterday in Southampton near the site of that very first factory. The centenary year will see each of Prysmian’s four manufacturing sites holding open days for all staff as well as a series of customer-focussed events. A particular emphasis this year will be placed on education and recruitment. The objective is to encourage students of all ages (including schoolchildren) to understand what manufacturing is about and to appreciate that engineering and technology-based industry offers a rewarding career path.
