Steel wire
expansion
Steel wire manufacturer Mid-South Wire
has paid $3.7 million for a 19,000ft
2
former
warehouse, with plans to expand.
John T Johnson Jr, CEO of Mid-South
Wire, said the warehouse is ideal,
being situated close to the company’s
headquarters. “We're just going to
expand our current operations and
add some product lines we think are
opportunities for us,” he explained.
“It made more sense to acquire this
across the street to eliminate duplication
of management, maintenance and
transportation costs if we were to
go somewhere else.” Along with the
building, Mid-South Wire has purchased
the 19-acre plot.
Mid-South Wire makes steel wire for
grocery carts, oven racks and other wire
products.
