Leviton’s Network Solutions Business Unit recently completed the $25 million expansion project in its Fuquay-Varina, N.C., manufacturing facility.
This project, which began in 2022, doubles Leviton's facility size, allowing it to support the ever-growing demand for its fiber cabling solutions.
The Fuquay-Varina, N.C. site manufactures a wide range of multimode and single-mode cabling products used to connect local area networks in various applications, including commercial enterprises, data centers, industrial, and harsh environments.
On April 9, 2025, Leviton held a ribbon-cutting event to celebrate this milestone achievement with company executives, local government officials, and Leviton’s local employees.
Daryoush Larizadeh, Leviton’s President and CEO, sees the new facility as helping it address the new demands being seen in data centers due to AI.
“We expect the demand for fiber optic cabling systems to grow for many years to support bandwidth-intensive applications like AI and Augmented Reality,” he said. “Leviton’s commitment to North Carolina goes back to 1965, and today we have three factories, including this expanded Fuquay-Varina location. The local government officials supported us every step of the way and the area has a very skilled workforce, which is essential for us to be successful.”
