Buffalo Wire acquires Bison Steel

The Buffalo Wire Works Bison Steel acquisition marks an important step forward for Buffalo Wire Works Co. Inc. as it continues to expand its range of advanced screening products. The company has acquired Bison Steel, a Depew, New York‑based manufacturer known for its highly abrasion‑resistant welded wire screens used in aggregate and mining operations.

Founded in 1869, Buffalo Wire Works has grown into a trusted name serving industries such as aggregate, mining, recycling, industrial processing, asphalt, slag, green waste, topsoil, and architectural design. The addition of Bison Steel’s proprietary wire screens expands Buffalo Wire’s reach and enhances its product innovation.

According to the company, this move supports the brand’s mission to offer customers longer‑lasting, higher‑performing screening solutions. A representative stated, “Buffalo Wire Works is excited to launch this product as part of our ever‑growing product suite.”

Bison Steel has built its reputation on high‑abrasion‑resistant welded wire screens, particularly valued in the aggregate and mining industries. Using a proprietary welding process, these high‑carbon steel screens achieve exceptional hardness—up to 500 Brinell—and resist abrasion under heavy use.

These welded wire screens last up to three times longer than traditional woven screens. As a result, they significantly reduce maintenance costs and increase production efficiency by as much as 15%. Their unmatched durability provides continuous operation in tough environments where downtime and wear can lead to major losses.

By integrating Bison Steel’s technology, Buffalo Wire Works reinforces its commitment to innovation and performance. The acquisition aligns with the company’s goal of delivering advanced screening materials that meet evolving industry demands while maintaining the legacy of quality established over more than 150 years of operation.
