First of all, the electricity and the telecommunications market in Italy along with the rest of Europe are to be monitored very closely as Prysmian's activities depend largely on their financial health and demand level.
It was in 2005 that the Prysmian Company as we know it today was created. It was following the intervention of the Goldman Sachs group which bought the activities of Pirelli Cavi SpA, a subsidiary of the Pirelli group that year that this entity is born. It's important to know that more than 80% of the capital of the Prysmian Company is held by a large international public and that only 20% of this capital belongs to institutional investor shareholders.
