With approximately 400 employees in 18 locations nationwide, we owe our success to our great customers, suppliers, and our highly talented team of dedicated employees.
HWCC was founded in 1975 to service the electrical distributor's need for immediate custom cut lengths of electrical wire and cable. Over the next 40 years, the Company grew to provide a wide range of electrical and mechanical wire and cable, value-added services including cable management programs for large projects, custom cable modifications, paralleling, twisting, striping, printing and mechanical products and services including lifting products, synthetic rope and slings. HWCC's $75 million dollar inventory and world-class logistics enables its customers to reduce working capital investments in the expensive, highly technical and time-sensitive products HWCC provides.
