AFL, a subsidiary of Fujikura Ltd. and a leader in optical fiber network infrastructure, has opened a new sustainable manufacturing facility in MDC² Park, Gliwice, Poland. This expansion aims to enhance AFL’s service to European customers with high-speed connectivity and comprehensive fiber network solutions.
The facility, set on a 13.4-hectare site with 13,000m² of space, features eco-friendly design elements such as solar panels, electric vehicle charging points, a green wall, beehives, and a rainwater retention system. Its strategic location near the A4 and A1 motorways ensures efficient transit times for staff and customers.
Naoki Okada, Director, President and CEO of Fujikura: “Together, Fujikura and AFL proudly take up challenges to deliver innovative, superior network solutions at the forefront of sustainability. The Poland Manufacturing Facility’s integrated eco-practices represent a significant step forward in our joint mission to reduce AFL and Fujikura’s ecological impact while setting new standards in corporate responsibility. This new venture follows AFL’s formal ESG Committee launch and partnership with the EPA ENERGY STAR program, further empowering the company to reach its greenhouse gas goals in line with the Science Based Targets initiative. I am confident the facility will serve to connect our valued EMEA customers and partners with exceptional, eco-conscious products and services, providing agile, consistent experiences that earn trust and contribute to society.”
