Cable manufacturer invests $63.8 million to expand Illinois facility

Aug. 2, 2023
The energy and telecom cable company will invest $63.8 million into the project, which is intended to increase cable manufacturing for the renewable energy and electric vehicle sectors.

Prysmian Group has begun expansion on its facility in Du Quoin, Illinois. The energy and telecom cable company will invest $63.8 million into the project, which is intended to increase cable manufacturing for the renewable energy and electric vehicle sectors. The expansion will add 100,000 square feet of manufacturing space, include the purchase of seven major pieces of equipment, allow for the implementation of an Energy Management System within the facility, and generate 80 new jobs.

In a recent quote, Andrea Pirondini, CEO of Prysmian Group North America, said, "This expansion will produce cutting-edge, high-quality, sustainable products that not only help enhance the grid - by increasing reliability, preventing blackouts and reducing overall maintenance costs. Ultimately, we will ensure we have the capacity needed, when it is needed, in order to ensure we can build an electrical grid that's built for the future. As we work to help harden the grid across the U.S., Du Quoin will play a large role in that."
