“We are proud to have the opportunity to play our role in the development of such a strategic infrastructure for our country, by making available the best “Made in France” cable technology,” declared Laurent Tardif, CEO South Europe Prysmian Group, on the occasion of the visit of the EDF Renewables’ Offshore Projects team representatives at Prysmian’s centers of excellence in Montereau and Gron.
