The transaction lets AWW expand product offerings in metal spools and wire carriers. It also helps optimize manufacturing by using Ace Metalโ€™s specialized knowโ€‘how. Because AWW has used these products for decades, the company can now design more tailored, customerโ€‘specific packaging and handling solutions.
