Cable manufacturer AmerCable announced plans to expand its existing operations in El Dorado, Arkansas with an investment of more than $10 million. The expansion will create 13 new jobs over three years.
Work on the new expansion is expected to begin in the third quarter of 2026. The expansion will add an additional 26,000-square-feet to the existing facility’s footprint.
“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,” he added.
AmerCable will be hiring for a range of positions including line operators, technicians, and engineers.
“El Dorado has long been a hub for Arkansas manufacturing, and AmerCable’s expansion builds on that legacy,” said Gov. Sarah Sanders. “I’m excited to see this investment bring new jobs, strengthen key industries, and keep South Arkansas moving forward.”
“With this expansion, AmerCable and its parent company, Mattr Corp., are investing in a community with a proven workforce and a supportive business climate, and we thank them for their confidence in El Dorado and Arkansas,” said Clint O’Neal, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. “This is a significant investment that was made possible thanks to the leadership in El Dorado that prioritizes creating an environment where companies can thrive.”
AmerCable manufactures low and medium voltage electrical power, control and instrumentation cables designed to reliably enable electrification in harsh environments. AmerCable serves a broad customer base within the critical infrastructure sector, including the mineral extraction, renewable power generation, general industrial and energy end markets.
