Massimo Battaini, Chief Executive Officer and General Manager of Prysmian, stated in a July 2026 interview that the company has "a firepower for acquisitions as never before" following its latest shareholder meeting, and that organic growth across its four business segments will be complemented by "relevant M&A opportunities" in the coming quarters. He also discussed the global fiber optic market, asserting that Europe is "much less protected" than the United States, noting that while 85% of fiber in North America is produced domestically, Europe imports the majority of its fiber, with Prysmian producing 15 million of the 60 million kilometers consumed in the region. In a separate interview, Battaini described sustainability as "a moral and ethical goal, but also a business driver." He reflected on Prysmian's transformation since 2022, citing the emergence of the energy transition as a key market shift requiring long-distance cables to connect renewable sources to consumption centers. He also noted a cultural shift within the company, mentioning that employees' children now express pride in working for Prysmian, which he described as a positive sign of the company's evolving brand value.
