Southwire

Southwire is proud to be one of the world’s leading manufacturers of electrical tools, wire and cable, as well as an emerging voice in the industrial electrical space. Southwire is committed to building on its seven decades of history by looking towards the future. In 1937, Roy Richards founded a company to build power poles. In 1950, he founded Southwire with three used machines and 12 employees. Now, 70 years later, Southwire continues its dedication for quality and service, with more than 7,000 employees around the world. As a result of their hard work, nearly one in two new homes built in the United States contain Southwire’s wire. Plus, the company also produces half of the cable used to transmit and distribute electricity around the country.

The Richards family credits Southwire’s success to its owners and employees’ hard work, social responsibility, and innovation. The company is committed to supporting the well-being of their communities and the global environment. In order to achieve their goals around this important commitment, Southwire organizes its sustainability strategy around five pillars: Growing Green, Living Well, Giving Back, Doing Right, and Building Worth.

Southwire offers tools, products and services for a variety of different industries. More specifically, its products are used in data centers, utilities, mass transit, residential spaces, healthcare, faculty power and automation, power generation, oil, gas, and petrochemical, commercial spaces, and automotive and electrical vehicles. Furthermore, Southwire provides a full range of products, such as wire and cable, tools and equipment, power management, lighting, and electrical components.
