AmerCable is launching a $10 million-plus expansion of its operations in El Dorado, the leading cable manufacturer announced Wednesday.
The expansion is expected to create 13 jobs over three years.
“Since 1978, AmerCable has been a cornerstone of the El Dorado community, employing more than 250 people to manufacture jacketed electrical power, control and instrumentation cables recognized for their quality around the world,” said Stan Calloway, AmerCable’s vice president of operations. “This expansion will upgrade the facility to relieve certain manufacturing line constraints and enable the launch of additional medium voltage products. These investments will support new and existing customer demand across data center, global mining, and industrial markets, while adding 13 jobs in El Dorado.”
Work on the expansion is expected to begin in the third quarter of this year and add 26,000 square feet to the existing facility’s footprint.
“For decades, AmerCable has been a valuable corporate partner to the City of El Dorado, with their expansion and the development of 13 new jobs we again witness their commitment to our community,” said El Dorado Mayor Paul Choate. “We in the community look forward to continuing our partnership and the continued success of both AmerCable and the City of El Dorado.”
