Manufacturer of copper electrical build-
ing wire and cable, Cerro Wire LLC,
offers SLiPWire
®
, a thermoplastic high
heat-resistant nylon-coated (THHN) cable
jacketed with a self-lubricating polymer
that provides an improved, lower
co-efficient of friction. SLiPWire reduces
the time, labor and cost of installation,
eliminates the materials and labor
needed for lubricating the wire, and
avoids messy clean-up activities.
SLiPWire also uses Cerro Wire’s True
Sequential Footage™ technology,
the only sequentially printed cable
reel that provides accurate wire length
with each cut. True Sequential Footage
avoids the need to carry excess cable
inventory, providing precision length,
accurate footage, and cost control.
It also uses Cerro Wire’s Max Print
®
identification system to quickly identify
the size of the cable, aiding selection,
inspection and preventing costly errors.

Mid Continent Steel and Wire
Inc of Poplar Bluff will expand
production and add 100
jobs, the new owners from
Mexico announced. “We
have a short-term objective
of increasing the production
capacity to 100,000 tons per
year,” said Raul Guiterrez, one
of the three brothers who own
Deacero, based in Monter-
rey, Mexico. “This will be 40 %
more than our present
capacity.”
Deacero purchased the plant
from David and Doug Libla,
who started the firm in 1987.
“David will continue to run the
company because we share
the same vision,” Guiterrez
said. “The company will
remain the same with the
same organization.”
As new products are added
and production grows,
Guiterrez expects “at least
a 20 to 30 percent increase in
employment” over a period
of time. The plant already has
more than 300 employees.
