The tour showcased the significant investments Belden has made
in the last two years to increase fiber optic production
capabilities. The Nogales plant – which has a production capacity
of 7.4 million feet of cable per day – manufactures fiber products
that are deployed in such environments as data centers, broadcast
applications and industrial facilities. With the rise of
technologies like AI, robotics and 5G, these markets are
experiencing ever-increasing demands for bandwidth, data rates and
speed that are best served by fiber optic systems.
The members of Congress in attendance were a bipartisan group
seeking to learn more about economic activity in the region in
order to advance sound public policy. Participants included
representatives from Arizona, California, Illinois and New York.
The visit to Belden underscored the importance of the binational
relationship between Mexico and the United States in facilitating
productivity and economic activity.
Belden’s Nogales location helps bolster the resilience of the
company’s supply chain, ensuring efficient and secure support for
the U.S. infrastructure industry. The proximity to the U.S. also
enables quicker delivery times and access to raw materials sourced
within the region, such as copper mined in Arizona. The location
also benefits from a pipeline of qualified talent from local
universities and tech centers.
“We are honored to welcome these visitors to our
state-of-the-art production facility,” said Jay Wirts, Belden’s
Executive Vice President of Enterprise Solutions. “Having a
dialogue with these leaders gives us the opportunity to showcase
how the solutions we develop at this location – and others like it
across the globe – are powering the network and digitization needs
of our customers.”
Belden’s Syracuse, NY location has also attracted the attention
of policymakers thanks to recent innovation, capital investments
and job creation in the broadband space. In February, New York
Governor Kathy Hochul visited Belden to announce a
multimillion-dollar award to support Syracuse-based growth
initiatives, and in 2023, Belden leaders joined Senate Majority
Leader Chuck Schumer, Senior White House advisor Mitch Landrieu,
and Assistant Secretary Alan Davidson from the National
Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) as they
recognized Belden’s investment in broadband innovation at its
Syracuse, NY, facility.
