Clearfield Quadruples Manufacturing Capacity in Mexico
Added Capacity Supports National Carrier Market Momentum, Ensures Continued Industry Leadership in Lead Time
& On-time Delivery of Fiber Management Solutions
Clearfield, Inc. (NASDAQ:CLFD), the specialist in fiber management for communication service providers, today
announced the broadening of its manufacturing capacity in its Tijuana, Mexico facility. Through space and head-count additions,
Clearfield is positioned to quadruple its manufacturing presence in Mexico. This expansion is a clear indication of the value the
market is realizing from Clearfield’s line of fiber management and fiber delivery solutions. The expansion assists in lowering
Clearfield’s cost of product manufacturing while ensuring Clearfield continues to lead the industry through short lead time and
on-time deliveries.
Clearfield’s decade of experience, which has produced unrivaled, scalable building blocks for the FTTx market, is a major driver
behind the company's expansion. To that end, the Mexico facility is modeled after the company’s U.S. manufacturing facilities in
Minneapolis. Like the U.S. based facility, Clearfield’s Mexican operations are fully equipped with passive optical LAN technology
providing fiber-to-the-desktop and fiber-to-the-workstation functionality.
"Our Mexican manufacturing facilities fully complement our ongoing operations at our U.S. headquarters,” said Cheri Beranek,
Clearfield president and CEO. "As part of our global initiative to provide our customers the best total cost of ownership
solutions, this strategic investment in manufacturing capacity will position us to build upon our growing momentum throughout the
North American national carrier marketplace.”
