What California Wire Products Corporation does

California Wire Products Corporation, operating under the DBA Cal-Wire, is a privately held custom wire mesh and welded wire manufacturer founded in 1948 and headquartered at 1316 Railroad St., Corona, California. The company designs and fabricates welded and woven wire mesh partitions, panels, storage cages, tenant and specialty lockers (including the military-spec Storage TA-50 line), machine guarding, pallet racking protectors, window guards, wire mesh railing and infill panels, and custom structural steel. Products are engineered to customer specifications using 3D modeling and CAD, with the firm positioning itself as the West Coast leader in woven wire mesh manufacturing and reporting 3,000+ satisfied customers over 77 years of continuous operation.

The company serves a diversified B2B and government customer base across Industrial and Warehouse Operations, Commercial and Multifamily Real Estate, Government and Military, Architectural and Construction, Manufacturing and Processing Plants, and Institutional Facilities. Its customer mix is project-driven and quote-based for custom work, complemented by a direct e-commerce shop for standard wire mesh SKUs. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on inbound website quote requests, phone contact (951-371-7730), downloadable CAD and PDF specification resources for architects and contractors, and consultative engagement from initial design through installation.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through one-time sales of custom-fabricated physical products rather than recurring or subscription contracts. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is delivered through custom quotes. The firm operates from a single manufacturing location with a small employee base (11-50), has no disclosed external investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no parent company, and is described as independently owned and self-funded since founding. Operating geographies span the West Coast with documented nationwide custom-project reach.
