What Davis Wire Corporation does

Davis Wire Corporation, founded in 1927 and headquartered in Kent, Washington, is a privately held B2B wire manufacturer operating two production facilities: one in Kent, WA and one in Irwindale, CA. The company runs six state-of-the-art production lines producing galvanized, brite, reinforcing, and specialty wire products. Davis Wire self-identifies as the largest galvanized wire manufacturer and the largest reinforcing wire producer in the Western United States, and the only diversified galvanized wire producer in the western U.S. Its product portfolio is organized across five core categories: industrial wire (galvanized, brite, spring, annealed, weaving wire), specialty wire (strapping, rail tie, guy, ACSR), concrete reinforcing (structural fabric, rebar tie wire, pipe fabric, pre-stressed wire), agricultural wire (deer fence, vineyard wire, barbed wire, fence stays), and building products (stucco netting, J-Lath, building paper). Davis Wire is a member of the Heico Wire Group, owned by Heico Holding, Inc., a privately held American industrial holding company that acquired Davis Wire in 1991 and later added Jaenson Wire in 1997.

The company serves industrial, transportation, power transmission, communications, agriculture, and construction customers across North America. Sales are conducted enterprise-direct via phone (800 numbers at each plant) and a website quote-request form, with no publicly disclosed pricing. The company holds multiple certifications including WBENC (Women's Business Enterprise, since 2017), ISO 9001 (Kent, WA - 2023), NTPEP (Irwindale, CA - 2022), AASHTO compliance (2024), and PCI membership (Kent, WA - 2023), which qualify its products for state highway, precast concrete, and quality-managed procurement programs. Strategic direction is provided by Emily Heisley Stoeckel, who leads Heico's Board of Directors.

Davis Wire generates revenue through direct B2B hardware sales of wire products, with multi-year contract cadences and quote-based pricing for industrial, specialty, chain-link weaving, concrete reinforcing, agricultural, and building-product categories. There is no software, SaaS, or digital revenue stream; the entire revenue model rests on physical-product sales. Geographic reach spans primarily the Western United States with North American distribution, supplemented by access to the broader Heico Wire Group network covering every major U.S. and Canadian market.
