I hope you enjoy the history of AFL. As you will see AFL is not going anywhere.
In 1984, aluminum giant Alcoa joined forces with Fujikura Ltd. of Japan to form Alcoa Fujikura Ltd., with Alcoa holding majority ownership. Two divisions - AFL Automotive and AFL Telecommunications were created. AFL Automotive manufactures electrical distribution systems and components for the automotive industry. AFL Telecommunications is a world leader in providing fiber optic products, engineering expertise and integrated services to the telecommunications industry.

Headquartered in Nashville, Tenn., AFL Telecommunications initially focused on the manufacture of Optical Ground Wire and accessories for the electric utility communication networks. Today, we offer telecommunications products and services including fiber optic cable, conductor accessories, splicing systems, test and measurement equipment, fiber management systems, fiber optic components and interconnect products, photonics and Engineering and Installation services.

Over the years, AFL Telecommunications has grown from 50 employees to more than 2,500 employees with revenues of more than $350 million and locations throughout the U.S., Mexico and United Kingdom.
