What TPC Wire & Cable Corp does

TPC Wire & Cable Corp, founded in 1979 and headquartered in Macedonia, Ohio, is a manufacturer of high-performance wire, cable, connectors, and cable assemblies engineered to withstand harsh industrial environments including extreme temperatures, abrasion, chemicals, impact, flexing, and tension. The company's product portfolio is organized around proprietary brand families—Super-Trex (portable power and automation cables with TSE dual-layer jackets), Chem-Gard (fluoropolymer-jacketed cable rated to 200°C), Thermo-Trex (high-temperature wire, cable, and sleeving), Trex-Onics (industrial automation and data cables), Hy-Trex (standard industrial cables), and Power-Trex (medium voltage 5kV–35kV solutions)—supported by Quick-Connex cordsets, Mil-Spec MIL-C-5015 connector assemblies, custom-engineered cable solutions, and accessories such as glands, sleeving, and heat shrink tubing.

The business sells exclusively through a channel-partner model: a network of authorized distributors across North America and international markets, supported by in-house technical sales representatives who provide application engineering, product demonstrations, and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) analyses. Pricing is quote-based with no e-commerce channel; a 70,000 sq. ft. warehouse in Macedonia stocks 2,500+ SKUs and ships in-stock catalog products within 24–48 hours. Revenue streams are predominantly hardware sales across wire/cable, assemblies, cordsets, components, and cable management products, supplemented by professional services revenue from custom engineering and TCO consulting.

TPC serves twelve primary vertical markets—including automotive manufacturing, food & beverage, metals, mining, oil & gas, utility power generation and transmission, railway signaling, marine, and industrial automation—with named customers spanning General Motors, First Energy, Cliffs Natural Resources, WESCO International, and Sonepar. Following its January 2024 acquisition by Amphenol Corporation (NYSE: APH), TPC operates as a wholly-owned subsidiary under the Amphenol TPC brand while maintaining its independent product catalog, distribution relationships, and engineering team. The company is ISO 9001:2015 certified, with product-level certifications including UL, CSA, MSHA, and RoHS compliance.
