OVERVIEW

100+ years of experience in the defense sector

In military and defense applications, compromising on quality, standards, or performance is not an option. Prysmian cables have proven their worth by supporting many of the world's leading military organizations. 

 

Specifically engineered for demanding environments, our expertise in defense cable construction stems not only from our experience but also from the unique technologies we utilize in research, development, and manufacturing. These advanced technologies differentiate us and enable us to deliver high-quality products. 

 

Prysmian's 10,000-square-foot test facility is more than just a testing site; it reflects our commitment to excellence. Designed to simulate the extreme conditions of land, air, or sea, it meets the highest international safety and quality standards. The laboratory is a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL), and its results can be used for cable approval and certification. Additionally, our manufacturing facilities are ISO 9001 certified, further underscoring our dedication to quality. 

 

Through rigorous testing, we achieve precise and consistent manufacturing. Our custom mixing and processing equipment fully automates Prysmian's compounding processes, ensuring that the formulas for insulation and jacketing materials are accurately followed for reliable performance.
