Weico Wire & Cable

What Weico Wire & Cable does

Weico Wire & Cable Inc. is a privately held, US-based specialty manufacturer and distributor of wire, cable, tubing, magnet wire, and braid products, operating since 1973 from a single manufacturing facility at 161 Rodeo Drive in Edgewood, New York. The company sells an extensive range of hook-up wire (PVC, PTFE/Teflon, Kynar, irradiated PVC, cross-linked ETFE/PVF, silicone high-voltage, polyolefin, THHN), cable products (coaxial, flat, tray, plenum, multiconductor), heat-shrink and non-shrink tubing, tinned copper braid, and a full line of magnet wire under its Magnet Wire Co. sub-brand, with thermal classes from 155C to 220C. A core part of the value proposition is qualification across MIL-SPEC (e.g., MIL-W-16878, MIL-W-22759, MIL-I-23053), UL, CSA, and NEMA specifications, supported by a searchable cross-reference catalog and downloadable engineering resources.

The business is run primarily as a direct-to-consumer e-commerce operation through weicowire.com, with part-number/spec search and an online Teflon Cable Customizer that lets buyers configure AWG, jacket, conductor, pairing and shielding options. Orders are also taken via phone, email, and fax, suggesting a hybrid SMB-to-enterprise motion rather than a pure consumer play despite the storefront. Pricing is unit-based with volume discounts (e.g., $0.74 per unit at 100 vs. $0.62 at 1,000) and put-up options including cut-to-length, standard spools, and custom configurations.

The addressable customer base spans engineers and designers needing qualified hook-up wire and tubing, and industrial/commercial buyers in aerospace, defense, and industrial equipment who require MIL-SPEC, UL, CSA, or NEMA compliance. The operating model is asset-light on the distribution side: one manufacturing site in Edgewood, NY, headcount in the 11-50 range, global shipping claim, no external funding rounds, no parent company, and Magnet Wire Co. as its only disclosed subsidiary/division.

• Belden: Belden is a major global manufacturer of signal, data, and specialty cable serving industrial, broadcast, enterprise, and defense markets through brands including Alpha Wire and Belden. Comparable to Weico as a multi-category wire and cable manufacturer with MIL-SPEC capability, but at far greater scale and a much broader product portfolio.
• Prysmian Group: Prysmian Group (which acquired General Cable) is a global leader in energy and telecommunications cable, including specialty and industrial cables. Comparable to Weico in cable manufacturing, but operates globally with much larger scale and a focus on utility and telecom rather than niche MIL-SPEC.
• TE Connectivity: TE Connectivity designs and manufactures connectivity and sensor solutions, including wire, cable, and wire harnesses serving aerospace, defense, industrial, and automotive markets. Comparable to Weico in MIL-SPEC hook-up wire and cable for defense/industrial, but with global manufacturing and much broader portfolio.
