Prysmian Cable Manufacturing Expands North Carolina Facility

in Catawba County, a 1.2 million-square-foot manufacturing operation where it produces both the glass used inside fiber optic cables and the cables themselves. The expansion will more than double the company's U.S. fiber optic production capacity, including the glass preform and fiber manufacturing processes, and increase the cable production side as well. Construction is expected to take 20-24 months. At more than $1 billion, the project represents the largest capital investment announced in Catawba County in the 11 years that the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina has
