PPC to add nearly 200 jobs by end of 2024, as it relocates production from overseas

DeWITT, N.Y. — U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.) on Tuesday revealed how PPC Broadband in DeWitt, Belden’s broadband products business, is growing and bringing production back from overseas to Central New York.

The Democrat is crediting the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act for that growth. PPC is located at 6176 E. Molloy Rd. in DeWitt.

Schumer explained that PPC, which makes components for broadband connections, is expecting to have nearly 200 jobs in Central New York with more than half already hired and applications open now directly. It’s due to the “Buy America” requirements and billions in federal investment secured to build out high-speed internet across New York and the nation, Schumer noted in a news release.

He went on to say that it will take the business from nearly 350 employees in 2021 prior to the law to about 550 by the end of 2024.

“Senator Schumer, we heard you, President Biden, and other Administration officials who made it a priority for U.S. taxpayer dollars to be used in U.S. factories,” Cary Mullin, VP and general manager at Belden’s PPC Broadband Solutions, said in the Schumer news release. “That emphasis stimulated capital investments and job creation that will cement our future in Central New York.”
