AFL announces multi-million-dollar investment and expansion

AFL has announced an investment of over $50 million to expand its fiber optic cable manufacturing operations in South Carolina.

This investment aligns with the Biden-Harris administration’s Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and Internet for All initiatives to increase broadband access in the U.S. It will result in the creation of new jobs and support AFL’s portfolio of products compliant with the Build America, Buy America Act (BABA).

“This expansion highlights AFL's commitment to providing an end-to-end BABA compliant cable and connectivity portfolio for our valued U.S. customers and represents a significant milestone toward AFL’s ongoing contribution to a stronger, more connected future for all communities across the country,” said Jaxon Lang, President and CEO of AFL.

Today’s announcement builds on AFL’s previous investment of more than $35 million in the expansion of domestic cable manufacturing to support broadband deployment and modernization of the power grid. These expansions continue AFL’s four-decade long commitment to job creation and U.S. manufacturing.

Key highlights of the expansion include:

Increased production capacity to meet the surging demand for fiber optic cable

Creation of new jobs at AFL’s manufacturing facilities, boosting the local economy

Development of innovative and sustainable fiber optic cable solutions

Commitment to using U.S. made materials and supporting the domestic supply chain
