Given their widely diverse contributions to the delivery of a payload of
certified perfect wire, the specialities under review here may seem an
unlikely grouping. But in the complex system that is the modern wire
and cable industry, they make an entirely plausible partnership: one,
in fact, that could be broadened to include any number of highly
developed processes and products.
Since a problem with any one of these comes down to a production deficit,
position or prominence in the cycle is a distinction without a difference. So long
as productivity is the imperative of our industry — that is to say, for as long as
wire is made and sold — the products and services showcased here all have a
common denominator.
