Type: Acquisition · Technology: Transmission · Country: United Kingdom · Announced: 2026-08-06

Prysmian completed the acquisition of a high-voltage cable jointer training facility located in North Ayrshire, Scotland, integrating over 20 apprentice jointers and the centre's training staff into its workforce. The facility will become part of Prysmian's global training and installation network, focusing on developing specialist cable jointing skills for underground and subsea high-voltage transmission cable projects. These projects are critical components of power grid infrastructure supporting the energy transition, with cable jointers playing a key role in installing, maintaining, and repairing transmission assets. The acquisition secures the future of the training programme at the North Ayrshire facility and preserves employment opportunities for apprentices trained there over the past three years. Prysmian's investment expands its presence in the UK, complementing existing manufacturing and services facilities in Bishopstoke, Wrexham, Aberdare, and its global marine base at the Port of Middlesbrough.
