From Stadium to Cables: FC Emmen discovers the power of Draka
Prysmian Draka welcomed the FC Emmen team and nearly 30 of their sponsors for a business lunch and tour of our cable factory in Emmen. During lunch, guests had the opportunity to learn more about Draka's history and our role within the cable industry.
The introduction was followed by a unique behind-the-scenes look at our factory, where low-voltage cables are produced, the cables that people use every day for lighting and power in their homes.
Many sponsors were surprised by what they saw. Although they drive past our location every day, for many this was the first time they had been allowed to look inside. They found it remarkable to discover that the cables that supply Dutch households with power are produced here in Emmen. The reactions were enthusiastic: people found it interesting and appreciated the opportunity to see the production process up close.
“I hope we have established a good connection. It would be great to welcome Prysmian Draka as a sponsor of FC Emmen in the future.” - Guus de Vries, commercial director of FC Emmen
The visit underscores the strong local ties between FC Emmen and the business community in the region. For Prysmian Draka, it was a great opportunity to show how our cables contribute to everyday life and to forge new connections, both literally and figuratively.
