Hopefully you are all now refreshed after the Thanksgiving break and
looking forward to the Christmas festivities in just a few weeks' time.
The wire and cable industry seems to be ending the year as it
started – on a high! Stainless steel, nickel alloy and titanium wire
manufacturer Zapp Precision Wire is expanding its operations in
Dorchester County, South Carolina, spending $30m in the process
and creating an additional 20 jobs. The full story can be found on
page 14.
Following its February purchase of Illinois-based Coleman Cable,
Southwire – believed to be the world's third largest producer of
wire and cable for the distribution of electricity – is spending $2m
purchasing a new site in Bremen, Indiana, for its manufacturing,
OEM and industrial divisions. See page 18 for the details.
In news from Asia, State Grid Corporation of China has begun work
on a large-scale ultra-high voltage power project to help alleviate
problems with air pollution. The project is estimated to have cost
more than $11 billion and is due to begin operation in 2016. You can
find the full details on page 35.
This is obviously the final wiredInUSA of the year and the team would
like to thank everyone for their help over the last 12 months and wish
you all Season's Greetings and a happy, healthy and prosperous
2015.
