Financial and Duration Aspects
The framework contract is valued at €600 million and spans a total of 7 years, from 2026 to 2032, including an optional 3-year extension. The average annual delivery volume is doubled compared to the previous contract. The cables will primarily be manufactured in France at the Bourg-en-Bresse site, with production capacity secured by a secondary site in Battipaglia, Italy.
Industrial Investment and Sustainability
The contract is supported by a major industrial investment of €15 million at the Bourg-en-Bresse site, which will increase production capacities for 400 mm² aluminum sections and cables with enhanced direct burial capabilities (EDR). Nexans highlights the integration of recycled aluminum and recycled polyethylene (PE) in its cables, in line with its PEP ecopassport declarations.
