Founded in New York City in 1922 as a supplier of wire strengtheners to the millinery industry (women’s hats), Alpha Wire grew to become a valued supplier to the expanding radio industry throughout the 1930s by producing wire and insulators for antennas. Enhancements to Alpha’s broad portfolio continued to the end of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. Innovations included the introduction of superior flex capabilities and the development of EcoWire®, the industry’s first smaller, lighter, and zero-halogen hook-up wire. That development was followed by the acquisition of COAST in 2014, which expanded Alpha’s capabilities to include custom cables. From its manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S., and offices and distribution centers in the U.S., UK, China, and Hong Kong, Alpha Wire provides an extensive selection of cable, wire, heat-shrink tubing, accessories, and wire management services to customers worldwide in the Industrial Automation, Medical, Semiconductor, Aerospace & Defense, Consumer Electronics, and Energy markets.
