Prysmian's Encore Wire breaks ground on TX facility expansion

Prysmian’s groundbreaking for a 650,000-square-foot medium-voltage cable facility on Encore Wire’s Texas campus marks a big development in the aluminum wire and cable sector.

As demand ramps up in data centers, renewable energy, and infrastructure, the expansion is a pivotal shift in North America’s insulated cable mix. Regional production is under pressure to keep pace with the anticipated growth in the wire and cable consumption over the next several years.
