Prysmian and Encore Wire have completed a major McKinney expansion, adding a new copper building wire plant and a significantly enlarged service center in McKinney, Texas. This milestone reflects the site’s growth from a 68,000-square-foot facility in 1989 to a 3.5-million-square-foot campus spanning 460 acres.
The project includes a new 340,800-square-foot copper wire plant and a service center that now totals nearly one million square feet. By combining manufacturing and logistics operations in one location, the company improves efficiency, accelerates delivery times, and increases product availability.
Increased Capacity Supports Market Demand
The new plant boosts copper building wire production to meet demand from construction, industrial, and infrastructure sectors. At the same time, the expanded service center enables next-day shipping and customized solutions, allowing Prysmian to respond quickly to customer needs.
The McKinney campus now ranks among the largest wire and cable manufacturing operations in the industry. It also features one of the largest service centers in the sector. This integrated model supports Prysmian’s shift toward becoming a full-service cable solutions provider.
In addition, the expansion strengthens the local workforce. The new plant employs about 115 workers, while the service center supports more than 250 employees. Altogether, the campus employs approximately 1,750 people, contributing to regional economic growth.
Investment Aligns with Infrastructure Trends
The Prysmian Encore McKinney expansion responds to rising demand driven by data center growth, U.S. industrial expansion, and grid modernization. By scaling both production and logistics, Prysmian and Encore Wire are better equipped to support large-scale infrastructure and electrification projects.
