“Over the past five years we have worked
hard and allowed the local Prysmian
organisation to combine its innate Russian
nature with the innovative approach,
dynamism and dedication that set the
entire Prysmian Group apart, all over the
world,” explains Cesare. “We faced and are
still facing a lot of difficulties, such as the
current economic crisis, but the work and
commitment of the entire team have laid
the foundation for the successful future of
Prysmian Russia.”
Cesare is proud of the goals achieved by the
cable industry’s global leader in its first five
years based in the continent-wide country.
These goals were celebrated late in 2014,
and the team is now ready to reach even
more ambitious targets in the challenging
environment of the Russian economy.
“During these five years, the Group and
the Russian team achieved three major
objectives: the extension and enlargement
of our low voltage cable range production,
the construction and startup of a new
factory for the production of extra high
voltage energy cables, and the improvement
of Prysmian’s team and management
processes,”
says Cesare.
FOCUS ON
The low voltage product range has been
extended and enlarged by adding fire-
resistant products and low smoke zero
halogen cables, produced using the Group’s
AFUMEX technology. Furthermore, the low
voltage range now includes larger cables
up to 240sqmm for single core cables and
up to 95sqmm for multi-core cables. The
new high voltage plant based in Rybinsk
completed the product engineering phase
and has already started cable production.
Prysmian Russia achieved the certification
of 110Kv cables and has already begun field
tests of the 330Kv 2500sqmm cables. Once
these tests are completed, Rybinsk will be
the only Russian plant able to produce extra
high voltage cable at 330Kv. Furthermore,
the plant will be one of the five Prysmian
Group facilities capable of producing the
extra high voltage cable range for land
installation.
Cesare Biggiogera, CEO of Prysmian Russia, tells Insight how
his team has achieved major goals since Prysmian established
itself in the country five years ago, including the extension and
enlargement of low voltage cable production and the construction
and startup of a new factory for extra high voltage energy cables.
