| Nexans, France, has recently been awarded a contract from Telef�nica, Spain, for the supply of telecommunications cables amounting to approximately two million kilometers of insulated conductors over the next two years. With this contract, Nexans strengthens its position as the leading cable supplier to the Spanish operator. The contract encompasses virtually all telecommunications cable types used by Telef�nica, including over 100 different products to be implemented in plain telephony networks, as well as advanced broadband services. All cables supplied to Telef�nica will be manufactured by the Nexans plant in Malia�o (Cantabria, Spain). With a production capacity in excess of ten million kilometers of conductors per year, the Malia�o plant is one of the largest in the world for these types of cables.
One of the determining factors in Telef�nica�s decision has been the service agreement, which includes tight delivery deadlines. As per Telef�nica�s request, deliveries will have to be made to 49 different possible locations in Spain. In addition, Nexans will maintain an emergency inventory with guaranteed delivery within 24 hours. Telef�nica is a leading global provider of fixed and mobile telephony services, operating more than 101 million lines in both segments.
