We also propose our flexibility for the stockists who would apply for wiring harness kits, as well as MRO programs with MTS cables to fulfill immediate repair. All our aerospace cable solutions follow the FAR 25 compliance for flammability, smoke density and toxicity data. We also bring utmost importance to ArcTracking resistance that evaluates the cables’ resistance.
Our production facilities in France and Mexico coupled with our optimized integrated supply chain allow us to provide on time delivery and service excellence. Thanks to its long-lasting expertise and reactivity recognized by the aerospace key accounts, Prysmian BU Aerospace is involved in most of the strategic client’s processes. Major recent achievements are Comac qualification to supply ARJ21 and C919, Ariane 6, sole selection by Latecoere, a major OEM for optical fibers.
Recent innovations and developments include also high voltage cables for the future aerospace’s electric hybrid run, optical fibers such as Lifi, Ariane satellite 6 projects, EWISS (aircraft electrical wiring interconnect system) for COMAC projects are also great client recognitions towards Prysmian adaptability.
Prysmian India is currently selling the following cables: HVAC, HVDC, submarine, rollingstock, railways, cranes, mining, nuclear, wind, solar, marine, defense, aerospace, O&G, fire survival, accessories, partial discharge measurements, and e-mobility.
With the full acquisition of one of our JV, as planned a few years ago, our India investment plan will strengthen our ‘Make in India’; localize more Prysmian R&D and innovation, in addition to our current activities.
