A telecoms fibre solutions business tucked away in a tranquil corner of the Scottish Borders is opening a major manufacturing plant in Fletcher, North Carolina, as it makes inroads into the lucrative US market.
Emtelle is a Scottish success story which has remained relatively below the radar, with its boss saying he would welcome a visit from the government to show them how Scottish ‘blown-fibre’ technology and its patented clip-on connections are changing the game for the roll-out of fibre networks.
He would also like to discuss with ministers the need for better business infrastructure in the Borders.
