Brugg
Cables
to triple
production
Customers typically include major
utilities, and Zimmerman said there
is only one other manufacturer of
the type of cable Brugg produces
in the United States.
“We are increasing the production
area three fold from 5,000 square
feet to 15,000 square feet, and we
are investing in two very important
machines,” Zimmerman said.
“We will be more than doubling our
production capacity.” In 2011 that
is expected to amount to 3 million
linear feet of cable.
Brugg Cables is part of a family
of businesses based in Switzerland.
It is one of four Otto Suhner-controlled
businesses in Rome, along with
Suhner Manufacturing, Brugg Wire
Rope and Brugg Pipesystems.

target to produce its largest volume
of fiber optic ground wire cable since
production began at the plant in 1999.
