Hey Spartanburg County, have you heard the fantastic news? A local fiber optic company, AFL, is planning a whopping $155 million dollar expansion over the next few years. Now that’s what we call a bright, shining investment!

AFL, a key player in the manufacture of fiber optic cable and accompanying hardware, revealed this exciting news on a bright Tuesday morning. The expansion plan is not just about ramping up production, but providing more than 150 new job opportunities for the locals. Talk about keeping the dollars at home, right?

An Increase In Production Capacity: The Core Of The Expansion Plan

So, you may be wondering, why the expansion? Well, AFL aims at broadening its manufacturing operations around the Duncan area. They state this will boost their production capacity – a much-needed move to tackle various areas like domestic cable manufacturing, broadband deployment, and power grid modernization. It’s quite evident that AFL is planning to kickstart a tech revolution in our hometown, and we’re all for it!

“For four decades, AFL has been deeply rooted in Spartanburg County,” said the proud president and CEO of AFL, Jaxon Lang. By reinforcing their global manufacturing capabilities locally, he believes not only will they serve their customers better, but they will also inspire more possibilities in the Upstate. With this expansion, the company’s growth pairs with community development — a win-win situation for all.

Local and State Support

Of course, such a significant move wouldn’t be possible without some much-needed support. Thankfully, the South Carolina Coordinating Council for Economic Development recognizes the potential impact and growth AFL’s expansion brings. Hence, it has awarded a generous $200,000 Set-Aside grant to Spartanburg County to assist with building improvement expenses.
