LS Cable Tarboro Plant Expansion Strengthens U.S. Manufacturing
LS Cable & System USA, part of South Korea’s LS Cable & System, will invest $26.9 million to expand its Tarboro, North Carolina facility. The LS Cable Tarboro plant expansion will grow its production capacity, create 86 new jobs, and enhance U.S. energy cable supply.
The three-year project shows LS Cable’s ongoing commitment to American manufacturing and local workforce development in Edgecombe County.
Investing in Local Growth and Jobs
Plant Manager Bobby Piner said the expansion will help the company meet rising customer needs and support job creation. “This investment allows us to grow with our customers and our team members here in Tarboro,” Piner noted.
Currently, the plant employs 188 people. Once the project is complete, employment will rise to nearly 275 workers, reflecting steady business growth and community investment.
Expanding Cable Production for Energy Markets
Through the LS Cable Tarboro plant expansion, the company will increase output of low- and medium-voltage cable products used across commercial, industrial, renewable, and utility sectors. These cables power essential electric systems and help build a reliable energy infrastructure nationwide.
In addition, the expansion supports the development of clean energy technologies and improves supply efficiency for the growing U.S. power market.
Building on a Strong Foundation
LS Cable & System USA opened its Tarboro plant in 2012, establishing a strong manufacturing presence in North Carolina. Since then, the facility has become a trusted source for high-quality cable products.
Now, the expansion helps the company scale faster, strengthen distribution capabilities, and serve its customers with greater efficiency. This continued investment demonstrates LS Cable’s confidence in Tarboro’s skilled workforce and business-friendly environment.
Combining Global Expertise with Local Innovation
As part of the global LS Cable & System family, the Tarboro facility integrates advanced engineering and sustainable practices. The company continues to invest in innovation, energy efficiency, and technology upgrades to meet changing infrastructure demands.
