Company to invest more than $10 million, create 13 new jobs

EL DORADO, Ark. (April 8, 2026) – Leading cable manufacturer AmerCable has 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.

“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.”

“El Dorado has long been a hub for Arkansas manufacturing, and AmerCable’s expansion builds on that legacy,” said Governor Sanders. “I’m excited to see this investment bring new jobs, strengthen key industries, and keep South Arkansas moving forward.”

“AmerCable is helping power the global economy with its power and instrumentation cables produced in El Dorado, Arkansas. Now, the company is expanding in El Dorado with a $10 million investment that will create 13 new jobs,” said Clint O’Neal, executive director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. “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. 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.”

Work on the new expansion is expected to begin in Q3 of 2026. The expansion will add an additional 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.”

“AmerCable’s expansion is a powerful vote of confidence in El Dorado and the people who make this community work,” said Steven Jones, President/CEO of the El Dorado – Union County Chamber of Commerce. “Our strategic location, strong industrial base, and skilled workforce continue to attract long-term investment, and this project is another example of how existing employers are choosing to grow right here. The creation of new jobs represents real momentum for our local economy, and we are proud to support AmerCable as they build their next chapter in El Dorado.”
