Southwire is renovating an existing 650,000ft 2 facility in Carrollton, Georgia, USA, to expand its building wire and feeder metal clad cable manufacturing capacity. This additional capacity will enable Southwire to increase production while streamlining operations. Production has already begun at the new plant with additional equipment to be added over the coming months. Once complete, Southwire will be using updated equipment and manufacturing techniques to produce several of its key product lines. “This new facility delivers a number of manufacturing

benefits and the property allows for further expansionas needed,” said Phil Tuggle, SVP building wire, Southwire. “Copper wire will continue to be our largest building wire category, but the market is continually demanding value engineered alternatives to copper. So not only will we get increased capacity, but we'll do it with an extremely efficient footprint with room for future growth.” Tuggle continued: “We are returning a shuttered facility to productive use and improving our manufacturing capability in the process.”
