Published: Aug 6, 2026 11:21
Nexans reported a 17.4% decline in H1 sales from its Other Activities segment, which mainly includes copper wire and metallurgy. The company said its strategy is to reduce external copper-wire sales in favour of internal sourcing and recycled-content offerings, potentially increasing downstream competition for high-purity copper scrap.
