Prysmian is expanding its facilities at its production site for submarine cables in Kirkkonummi, Finland.

A press release said that YIT, a Finnish construction and development company, will expand four hall buildings and build a new material warehouse in the area, covering an area of 26,000 sq m. The project, estimated to cost approximately €35 million, is scheduled for completion in June 2026.

YIT was previously used for the implementation phase partner for the cable tower project last summer. The tower, which reached its ridge height of 185 meters at the end of last year, is set to be completed in the summer of 2025. “We are pleased to continue our cooperation with YIT in the expansion of Prysmian’s submarine cable center of excellence and factory production capacity in Pikkala,” said Ferdinando Quartuccio, country CEO of Prysmian Group Finland. “The contract now signed is a natural continuation of the ongoing cable tower construction project, which has progressed according to plan and on schedule.”
