• Nexans has taken a significant leap forward in its electrification strategy by completing the acquisition of the iconic Italian company La Triveneta Cavi, with recognized excellence in the European medium- and low-voltage cable segments.
• La Triveneta Cavi boasts 700 skilled employees across 4 production units and generates over 800 million euros in sales.

Paris, June 6, 2024 – Nexans, a leader in the global energy transition, today announces the completion of its acquisition of La Triveneta Cavi, one of the European leader in medium- and low-voltage cables. The acquisition is a significant leap forward in Nexans’ strategy to become an electrification pure player. La Triveneta Cavi brings a rich heritage of innovation, cutting edge manufacturing and logistics and a seasoned management team to further accelerate Nexans’ value creation in electrification.

Based in Italy since 1965, La Triveneta Cavi primarily manufactures low-voltage cables for building, infrastructure, fire-retardant cable systems and renewable energy applications across 30 countries. The company operates a best-in-class, vertically integrated network with three cable production units featuring highly efficient logistic capabilities, in addition to a world class “in-house” copper drawing facility. The company boasts a workforce of approximately 700 skilled employees and has generated current revenues of more than 800 million euros over the last twelve months.

The enterprise value of around 520 million euros represents a multiple of 5.6x 2023 EBITDA pre-synergies and 4.6x post run rate synergies. It will be high-single-digit accretive to earnings per share (EPS) from year one. Nexans’ financing of the acquisition will have limited impact on run rate leverage to remain ≤1.0x.
