Prysmian Simplifies Atkore’s PVC Portfolio to Focus on Electrification Markets and Streamlines its Service Model

Prysmian, the leading provider of solutions for energy and digital connections, today announced a strategic decision to simplify its PVC portfolio by exiting Atkore’s PVC water business, which serves municipal waterworks, plumbing, and irrigation applications, and dedicating production capacity solely to PVC electrical conduit manufacturing. The decision reflects the company’s continued focus on electrification. 

Brian Moriarty, SVP Industrial & Construction of Prysmian and President of Atkore | Encore Wire: “As a part of Prysmian’s ongoing integration of Atkore, we are reviewing our combined portfolios to ensure product lines and investments align with long-term growth priorities. Shifting the manufacturing focus to just PVC conduit increases our capacity and ability to meet the demand of the industrial and construction market. These decisions demonstrate our commitment to simplifying processes, improving our joint portfolio, and enhancing service to our customers with the quality and speed they’ve come to expect from Prysmian.” 

The company also announced an improved service model focusing on direct shipments from manufacturing plants. As a result, Prysmian will streamline the Atkore Regional Service Center (RSC) Network as follows:

• The Kent, WA RSC Facility and the RSC portions of the Cartersville, GA, and Philadelphia, PA facilities will close permanently. The manufacturing facilities in Cartersville and Philadelphia will continue operating and will leverage the open space for additional manufacturing and direct shipments to customers.
• The Harvey, IL RSC facility will transition to warehousing and direct shipment of EMT, Strut, and Mechanical products.
• The Chino, CA; Fort Worth, TX, and Mississauga, Ontario RSC facilities will continue shipping Atkore products from their locations due to their strategic position in Prysmian’s footprint. Additionally, Prysmian will consolidate its existing warehouse into the Atkore Chino facility. 

Following the close of the Atkore acquisition, Prysmian announced a new manufacturing representative network to serve the U.S. Industrial and Construction customers and bring the complete portfolio of Prysmian, Encore Wire, and Atkore products to the market.
