Our History

Our History

Headquartered in Camden, New York, International Wire serves customers across the United States and Europe with premium wire products. Since our founding in 1885, we have continuously grown our capabilities and expanded our operations through strategic acquisitions.

Services We Offer

International Wire provides standard and custom wire products for a broad range of applications. Our wire products include copper single-end wire, stranded wire, braided wire, copper wire on bobbins, and flat wire.

Our wire capabilities include:
  • Drawing
    Drawing

    The drawing process in wire manufacturing is a precise and critical operation that reduces the diameter of a copper rod to a finer gauge, while maintaining the material’s mechanical properties and surface finish. The drawing process is also the first process in cable manufacturing.

  • Stranding
    Stranding

    Stranding combines multiple individual wire strands to create a single, flexible conductor. This process enhances the wire’s durability and flexibility, making it suitable for dynamic applications such as power transmission, electronics, and automotive systems. Stranded wire is also less prone to fatigue compared to solid wire.

  • Bunching
    Bunching

    Wire bunching is the process of twisting together multiple single wire strands to form a flexible, compact conductor known as a bunched wire. Unlike stranded wire, where strands are precisely layered in a geometric pattern, bunched wire strands are randomly twisted, offering enhanced flexibility and ease of use in applications where movement, bending, or vibration is common. It is widely used in the manufacturing of cables for automotive, electronics, and consumer goods.

  • Bobbin Winding
    Bobbin Winding

    Wire is wound onto bobbins for easy handling, storage, and transportation. Bobbin winding supports production efficiency by delivering wire products in a ready-to-use format to our customers, who have their own braiding machines.

  • Braiding
    Braiding

    The braiding process interlaces multiple wire strands into a cylindrical configuration or a mesh, providing increased strength, flexibility, and shielding. Braided wire is widely used in demanding environments where abrasion resistance, electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI) protection are critical.

  • Cable Over-braiding
    Cable Over-braiding

    Over-braiding adds an extra layer of braided wire around existing cables for enhanced protection. This capability improves mechanical strength, abrasion resistance, EMI and RFI shielding, extending the lifespan of cables in harsh or high-performance environments such as aerospace, automotive, and industrial applications.

  • Custom Harness Braiding
    Custom Harness Braiding

    Harness braiding involves creating customized braided coverings for wire harnesses. This operation caters to specific customer needs, offering tailored solutions for unique applications. It provides enhanced bundling, durability, and shielding, ensuring that wire harnesses perform reliably in complex and demanding systems.
