Kris-Tech Wire has completed a multi-year upgrade of its Houston, Texas facility. The U.S.-based copper wire manufacturer began operations at the Houston site in January 2022. Since then, the company has expanded the facility by 60,000 square feet and increased its presence in the Gulf Coast and Midwest regions.

A press release said that, as part of the upgrade, Kris-Tech expanded its sales and customer service teams based at the Houston location, increased storm stock and high-volume inventory and upgraded shipping capabilities. These improvements enable faster shipments, including critical materials for emergencies, with some deliveries occurring in as little as one to two days.

The warehouse carries Kris-Tech’s line of electrical utility and tracer wire products, as well as PV wire and cathodic protection cable. Custom orders continue to be produced at the company’s Rome, New York headquarters, but the Houston site can now ship key materials directly to sites within a day for certain requests.

Per the company, the Houston site’s location near Beltway 8 and I-45 allows for convenient customer pickups and rapid distribution to key regional markets. Founded in 1984, Kris-Tech manufactures wire products for the building, commercial, and utility sectors in the U.S.
