Prysmian completes $3.8B Atkore acquisition, expanding US electrical solutions

Prysmian has completed its acquisition of Atkore, a US provider of electrical infrastructure solutions. It paid $95 per share in cash, implying an enterprise value of about $3.8 billion (€3.3 billion). The deal, agreed on August 2, 2026, broadens Prysmian's US range with Atkore's conduits, cable management systems, and metal framing. The combined business has more than 60 manufacturing and distribution sites across the US, and will target customers in data centres, utilities, and commercial and industrial infrastructure. Prysmian expects about $150 million in annual run-rate pretax synergies within three years. It expects high single-digit earnings per share accretion in the first full year, before synergies. Atkore becomes a wholly owned subsidiary, will be consolidated from November 2026, and will leave the New York Stock Exchange.
