A rvind Parsa, Director o f MetalsGet in touch! http://www.bekaert.com/powersolutionsagrees: “Setting up the new organisation
was only a part of the work that had
to be done. We’re now starting the
discussions about merging the ERP
systems and the tools we need.”
Following its acquisition by Goldman
Sachs in 2005, the former Pirelli
Cables & Systems (where Schulties
also worked prior to General Cable)
was renamed Prysmian. “The company
has grown tremendously in the past
year,” explains Alivia. “We generate
approximately $4.1bn in revenue in
North America, which was more orless what the legacy Pirelli company
was doing globally. All of the challenges
are mastered here. Since the acquisition,
we’ve been working to bring these two
entities together. North America is where
the bulk of the general cable business
was and so this is where the majority
of the effort has been placed.” That
effort has included the integration of
5,000 staff while managing fixed costs,
something that has been key to Prysmi-
an’s success as a lean organisation.
