Pirelli and Furukawa Set Up Brazilian JV
Pirelli’s Brazilian subsidiary of its Telecom systems business has signed a joint venture agreement with Japan’s Furukawa Industrial, to produce fibre optic cables in Brazil. The new company, to be called SPF (Sociedade Produtora de Fibras Ópticas S.A) is split 51:49 with Pirelli responsible for the majority. The decision to merge was taken in order to “catch all the opportunities that could derive from the recovery of the Brazilian telecommunications market after last year’s slowdown,” a company statement explained.
