PROFILE |
 |
Pirelli rolls on the information superhighway, as well as the freeway -- for now. Pirelli S.p.A. has two core businesses: cables and tires. Pirelli's cable unit (60% of sales) makes telecommunications, fiber-optic, and power cables. On the tire side of the ledger, Pirelli makes tires for cars, industrial and commercial vehicles, motorcycles, and farm machinery. Pirelli became a global leader in power cables after buying US-based General Cable's BICC General division, but now Pirelli (and the Benetton family) have agreed to take a controlling stake in Telecom Italia. Prior to the deal Pirelli sold two niche optical units; it has also announced plans to sell its commercial tire and energy cable businesses by early 2003.
