Genuine Cable Group has completed the GCG UWC acquisition, adding United Wire & Cable (UWC) to its portfolio. This acquisition strengthens GCG’s position in engineered power cable solutions and supports expansion across critical infrastructure markets in North America.
Expanding Engineered Power Capabilities
UWC will join GCG’s Custom Engineered Solutions segment, enhancing its ability to deliver proprietary power systems for mission-critical environments. Founded more than 40 years ago, UWC operates a primary manufacturing facility in Toronto along with satellite sales offices.
The company is widely recognized for its MAXIAMP cable bus feeder systems, as well as vertical mineshaft cables and other specialized products. These solutions support applications that require high reliability, performance, and durability.
Supporting Growth in Critical Infrastructure Markets
UWC serves key sectors such as data centers, industrial operations, and power infrastructure. Therefore, the GCG UWC acquisition aligns with GCG’s strategy to expand beyond distribution and offer value-added, engineered solutions tailored to complex project needs.
At the same time, UWC will continue operating under its existing brand. Leadership will remain in place, with Laura-Anne Tredenick and Robyn Baldasti continuing to lead the company. This continuity ensures stability and preserves strong customer relationships.
Driving Long-Term Expansion Strategy
The GCG UWC acquisition marks GCG’s 11th acquisition in the past six years, highlighting its focus on building a diversified portfolio of proprietary products and technical expertise.
Based in Nashville, GCG provides wire, cable, connectivity, and automation solutions to industries including industrial automation, communications, data centers, and OEM markets. The company also operates cable assembly facilities and supports specialized applications, including supplying products to the U.S. Navy.
Overall, by integrating UWC, GCG strengthens its ability to deliver integrated infrastructure solutions and meet growing demand across North America.
