When it matters: it’s Prysmian
When your reputation depends on your last job; when lives are at stake; when you need your customers to be delighted: that’s when you don’t take a chance.
Prysmian cables have been trusted by UK electricians for over 100 years with good reason.
No-one makes it better
We design and manufacture our products end to end. We’ve got the chemists, the physicists and the engineers to make sure our cable products meet and exceed every technical standard required by the UK market.
We work closely with our electrician customers to understand what they need. Easy to strip? That’s our Twin and Earth and FP cable products. Ready for domestic EV charging points? That’s Prysmian EV. Proven product quality and reliability? That’s our building wires range.
We test everything right here in our own laboratories – ensuring that when you take Prysmian cable to site, you can be sure you leave behind an installation that will be safe, long-lasting and reliable.

The specifier's choice
All Prysmian cables are independently assessed and certified by third-party bodies including BASEC, to ensure their quality, with evidence of this marked on each cable. Carrying third-party accreditation demonstrates that every cable is fully compliant and in exceptional working order.
Prysmian also has an in-house fire testing laboratory located at our Eastleigh factory. The fire test lab operates full-time, conducting over 1,500 tests every year to ensure existing cables are performing at their best, and to drive research and development into new solutions that meet increasing market demands.
The Prysmian FP cable range undergoes rigorous testing at the fire test lab and with third party organisations to meet the highest standards of safety and reliability when it matters most. Each fire test assesses a key element such as fire resistance, flame spread, and smoke emission to ensure the cables help save lives and provide greater property protection.

Locally manufactured
Knowing where your cable is made is important. Prysmian cables are manufactured in the UK at our three sites Eastleigh, Wrexham and Aberdare, guaranteeing a consistent supply to customers, and avoiding any lengthy delays that may occur in the supply chain. This level of local manufacturing means cables such as Twin and Earth (6242Y) and FP200 Gold, are readily available across the UK.
Powering a sustainable future
The drive for decarbonisation and taking responsible action to tackle climate change is a priority, and Prysmian is dedicated to operating sustainably.
As a company, one of our sustainability goals is to use less virgin material. We’re committed to using copper with 30% recycled content and became a Copper Mark partner in June 2024. In the same year, all aluminium sourced was low carbon. By recycling more and sourcing low carbon materials, we can reduce our energy consumption and minimise our environmental impact throughout the supply chain.
