Wire & Cable ASIA – May/June 2007
InterWire’s got it covered!
A substantial growth in business has
led to InterWire Products (IWP)
opening up a new 30,000ft2 facility
in Fort Mill, South Carolina, US.
Along with its existing Georgia site,
this now means that IWP covers the
entire southeast of the US.
“We initiated this expansion in
direct response to our growth and
success in the marketplace,” said
Frank Cardile Jr, president of IWP.
“The new facility, along with the
relocation of experienced team
members of the company, represents
our long-term commitment to our
business and customers.”
The opening follows IWP’s recent
expansion into Michigan with an
80,000ft2 unit servicing the Western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and
Michigan markets.
The addition of these new locations
to the existing distribution centres
now provides IWP, the largest
distributor of fine quality wire, with a
total of 430,000ft 2 of warehousing
throughout the United States.

2006: A record year for Maillefer
2006 was a record year for Maillefer with sales exceeding €100million – and the
trend looks set to continue this year.
A healthy order backlog at the end of last year, and with deliveries booked well
into 2008, total sales for this year are expected to be even better.
Much of this sales activity is down to demand for the modernisation or
expansion of power grids. This is leading to investments across the entire
energy distribution network.
The company is also seeing considerable growth in projects in Russia, China
and the Gulf states.
