existing 650,000ft
2
facility in
Carrollton, Georgia, USA, to
expand its building wire and
feeder metal clad cable
manufacturing capacity.
This additional capacity will
enable Southwire to increase
production while streamlining
operations. Production has
already begun at the new plant
with additional equipment to be
added over the coming months.
Once complete, Southwire will
be using updated equipment
and manufacturing techniques
to produce several of its key
product lines.
“This new facility delivers a
number
of
manufacturing
benefits and the property allows
for further expansionas needed,”
said Phil Tuggle, SVP building
wire, Southwire. “Copper wire
will continue to be our largest
building wire category, but the
market is continually demanding
value engineered alternatives to
copper. So not only will we get
increased capacity, but we'll
do it with an extremely efficient
footprint with room for future
growth.”
Tuggle continued: “We are
returning a shuttered facility to
productive use and improving
our manufacturing capability in
the process.”
