Cerrowire Alabama MC Cable Investment Drives U.S. Growth

Cerrowire, a leading U.S. manufacturer of copper building wire, announced aย $100 million investmentย in a newย 270,000-square-foot facilityย inย Hartselle, Alabama. The project will produceย metal-clad (MC) cable, a fast-growing product in commercial and industrial construction.

Thisย Cerrowire Alabama MC cable investmentย supports nationwide demand for safe, efficient wiring and marks a major milestone as the company celebrates its 100th anniversary.

Creating Jobs and Strengthening the Community

The new Hartselle plant will createย more than 130 jobs, boosting local employment and economic growth. Cerrowire chose theย Morgan Center Business Parkย for its business-friendly location and strong community partnerships.

โ€œWeโ€™re proud to make Hartselle the home of this important expansion,โ€ saidย Stewart Smallwood, Cerrowire President. โ€œThis investment helps us grow while contributing to the people and economy of North Alabama.โ€

He praised theย State of Alabama,ย Morgan County, theย Tennessee Valley Authority, and theย City of Hartselleย for providing outstanding support and helping the project succeed.

Meeting Growing Demand for MC Cable

Theย Cerrowire Alabama MC cable investmentย positions the company to meet the rising need for advanced electrical wiring. The MC cable market continues to expand acrossย commercial,ย industrial, andย residentialย sectors because of its reliability and easy installation.

Unlike traditional wiring, MC cable uses durableย metal claddingย that complies withย National Electrical Code (NEC)ย standards. Itโ€™s ideal forย data centers, hospitals, andย modern construction projectsย where safety and efficiency matter most.

Expanding Product Range and Customer Value

โ€œBy adding MC cable, weโ€™re building on our core strength in manufacturing building wire,โ€ said Smallwood. โ€œCustomers asked us to enter this segment because they trust our quality, on-time delivery, and customer service.โ€

This new product line allows Cerrowire to serve a broader customer base. It also helps distributors and retailers meet the growing demand for cost-effective, high-performance wiring solutions.

Strengthening U.S. Manufacturing Leadership

Headquartered inย Hartselle, Alabama, Cerrowire operates additional plants inย Georgia,ย Indiana, andย Utah. As part of theย Marmon Electrical Groupโ€”aย Berkshire Hathaway companyโ€”Cerrowire continues to invest in technology, workforce development, and sustainable production.

Through thisย Cerrowire Alabama MC cable investment, the company reinforces its commitment to U.S. manufacturing and positions itself for long-term growth in the electrical industry.
