Prysmian Group confirmed in November 2025 that its Schuylkill Haven cable plant will close by December 31, 2027, a move with significant local economic impact. A state WARN notice details phased layoffs beginning January 1, 2026, tied to the Prysmian Schuylkill Haven plant closure. The company says 150 jobs will be cut as operations wind down, affecting Schuylkill County manufacturing wages. The facility, founded in the early 1960s and part of Prysmian since 2011, long provided multigenerational employment. Cited factors include competitive pressures, tariffs, and a focus on advanced, greener production at newer automated sites. Recent mass layoffs in Tremont and Pottsville and ongoing industry consolidation add pressure, while demand shifts favor modern cable plants.
