Houston Wire & Cable Company (HWC), Houston, has expanded its Denver electrical wire and cable distribution center, more than doubling the size of the facility to better accommodate the needs of customers in its Western and Mountain regions. HWC can triple the size of its inventory at this location and add multiple cutting lines to increase productivity and improve lead time. The new Denver facility will also be equipped with full cable management capabilities to better handle larger projects in the area, as well as bar coding for enhanced inventory management.

General Cable Corp posted lower than anticipated Q4 results as a result of falling metal prices and a high- cost inventory, and has forecast first-quarter revenue largely below analysts’ expectations. The maker of copper, aluminum and fiber optic wire and cable products expects first-quarter revenue of $1.35 billion to $1.45 billion, while analysts, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S, had expected $1.45 billion. October to December net income fell to $4.4 million from $35 million a year ago. Net sales rose one percent to $1.37 billion.
