AFL has served the Australian market for over 20 years, primarily in the power utility market. To establish an in-country presence, AFL acquired Optimal Cable Services in 2013. With AFL’s vision to provide differentiating and innovative solutions in the South Pacific, AFC’s addition to the AFL portfolio is perfect.
According to Kurt Dallas, EVP of Cable and Connectivity for AFL, during their initial discussions, they gathered that AFC was a special company. AFC’s team of professionals consistently delivered exceptional quality and innovative solutions to their customers.
With the addition of AFC, AFL’s new expanded product offering includes fiber optic cable, fiber management systems, fiber assemblies and fiber enclosures as well as splicers, test equipment and a complete set of communication network products.
The acquisition better positions AFC to expand their customer reach and capabilities. They are delighted to join the AFL family.
AFL will continue operations in AFC’s existing facilities, including Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Brisbane, Canberra, Adelaide, Auckland and Hong Kong.
