Service Wire Company recently held a groundbreaking ceremony for a new facility at its location in Culloden, West Virginia, that will enable the company to significantly increase its manufacturing capacity.

A press release did not go into details about the size of the project, but in it company President Louis Weisberg said the project is a result of the “dedication and Appalachian Grit” of the company’s workforce. “It would not be possible without the dedication of our hard-working people. We are investing in the future and deepening our American roots.”

Service Wire, founded in West Virginia in 1968, manufactures more than 1,800 products for industrial, commercial, utility, renewable energy, pump, irrigation, and transit markets. The Culloden headquarters is one of three nationwide locations, each with manufacturing, distribution and sales operations. The company’s Houston, Texas, facility opened in 1980 and was later upgraded, while the Phoenix, Arizona, facility—acquired in 1999—doubled distribution capacity for the Southwest.

 “Our company is growing rapidly,” said Mark Gatewood, vice president of sales and marketing. “This expansion will enable us to continue supporting our customers with the highest quality copper wire and cable and industry-leading service.”

Upon completion, the expansion is expected to create approximately 60 new jobs for the local workforce, supporting a range of roles within manufacturing and operations.  Per the company’s website, Service Wire’s products, which are manufactured entirely in the United States, have been installed in all 50 states and more than 30 countries. Notable projects include the Freedom Tower in New York, the Bayonne Bridge in New Jersey, Chicago’s Wrigley Field, wind and solar farms, and light rail systems.
