LindFast Expands Industrial Distribution Capabilities

The MFG Partners sale of AZ Wire & Cable marks a key milestone for LindFast Solutions Group (LSG) as it broadens its footprint across industrial distribution.

LindFast, backed by Nautic Partners, continues to grow through strategic acquisitions that increase scale and diversify product offerings.

Enhancing Valueโ€‘Added Services for Customers

AZ Wire & Cable serves OEMs, contractors, and industrial clients across the U.S. The company provides cutting, reeling, paralleling, striping, and coiling services, allowing customers to receive materials in jobโ€‘ready formats. These services reduce handling time and improve installation efficiency.

AZ operates from Northbrook, Illinois, with additional locations in New York, North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Colorado, Arizona, California, and Oregon. This broad network helps AZ support customers quickly and reliably across multiple regions.

Accelerating Growth Under MFG Partners

When MFG Partners acquired AZ Wire & Cable in 2022, it partnered closely with management to scale operations. During that time, AZ expanded facilities in California and Florida, increased inventory levels, and acquired complementary businesses. As a result, the company improved delivery times and product range to better support customers.

โ€œOur partnership with MFG accelerated AZโ€™s growth and strengthened our position,โ€ said Todd Anixter, Executive Vice President. โ€œNow, weโ€™re excited to join LindFast, where we see even greater opportunities ahead.โ€

Broadening LindFastโ€™s Product Portfolio

For LindFast Solutions Group, this acquisition adds new wire and cable distribution capabilities. The company, known for standard and specialty fasteners, now expands into a complementary market. LindFast also offers tapes, coatings, and specialty manufacturing products, with services such as breakโ€‘bulk, packaging, kitting, plating, and inventory management.

Meanwhile, the addition of AZ Wire & Cable enhances LindFastโ€™s integrated supply solutions and strengthens customer support. Learn more about LindFastโ€™s expanded offerings at https://www.lindfast.com.
