Steel wire expansion

Steel wire manufacturer Mid-South Wire has paid $3.7 million for a 19,000ft 2 former warehouse, with plans to expand. John T Johnson Jr, CEO of Mid-South Wire, said the warehouse is ideal, being situated close to the company’s headquarters. “We're just going to expand our current operations and add some product lines we think are opportunities for us,” he explained.

“It made more sense to acquire this across the street to eliminate duplication of management, maintenance and transportation costs if we were to go somewhere else.” Along with the building, Mid-South Wire has purchased the 19-acre plot. Mid-South Wire makes steel wire for grocery carts, oven racks and other wire products.
