Nexans Completes Acquisition of Electro Cables Inc. to Strengthen Low-Voltage Solutions (PWR-CONNECT) in North America

Nexans announces the completion of the acquisition of Electro Cables Inc.

“Electro Cables is an exceptional strategic fit for Nexans. Their expertise in low-voltage cables, transit and infrastructure projects, and decades-long customer relationships make them an ideal partner as we expand our presence in Canada. Together, we are building a platform that will power the next chapter of sustainable electrification across North America.”
