OVERVIEW

100+ years of experience in the defense sector

When it comes to military and defense applications, there is never an option to compromise on quality, standards, or performance. Prysmian cables have demonstrated their value by supporting many of the world’s major military organizations.

Our expertise in defense cable construction is not just about experience, but also about our unique technologies that we apply in research, development, and manufacturing. These specific technologies set us apart and allow us to deliver high-quality products. 

 

Prysmian's 10,000-square-foot test facility is not just a space for testing, but a testament to our commitment to excellence. It is designed to simulate the rigors of land, air, or sea and complies with the highest international safety and quality standards. The laboratory is a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) whose results can be used for cable approval and certification. Our manufacturing facilities are also approved by ISO 9001, further reinforcing our dedication to quality. 

 

Rigorous testing translates into precise and consistent manufacturing. Our custom mixing and processing equipment fully automates Prysmian's compounding processes. This allows formulas for insulation and jacketing materials to be accurately followed for consistent performance.
