Newark Wire Cloth Company

What Newark Wire Cloth Company does

Newark Wire Cloth Company is a privately held U.S. wire cloth manufacturer founded in 1911 and headquartered at 25 Rutgers Avenue, Cedar Grove, New Jersey, with 11-50 employees. The company weaves and fabricates woven wire cloth — including space cloth, mesh cloth, and micronic filter cloth — in grades such as Market Grade, Mill Grade, Tensile Bolting Cloth, Hardware Cloth, Filter Cloth, and Welded Wire Cloth, with wire sizes ranging from 1-inch diameter down to finer than human hair and mesh openings from 4 inches down to one micron. Weaving techniques include Plain Weave, Twill Weave, Plain Dutch Weave, Twill Dutch Weave, Twill Dutch Double, and Stranded weave, supplemented by CNC-controlled SaniWedge wedge wire manufacturing with slot sizes down to .002 inches.

The company converts raw cloth into finished industrial filtration and separation products including basket strainers, conical line strainers, flat plate strainers, SaniClean 3A sanitary strainers, test sieves (ASTM E11 / ISO 3310 compliant with proprietary SuperlaSieve Cleaner-by-Design construction), wire mesh baskets, filter leaves, and custom fabricated parts — with all cutting, slitting, forming, stamping, punching, bending, rolling, seaming, edging, welding, and soldering performed in-house. Materials span stainless steels (304, 304L, 316, 316L), aluminum, copper, and exotic alloys (Hastelloy, Inconel, Monel).

Newark operates a custom fabrication job-shop go-to-market: each customer requirement is independently estimated and quoted, materials are purchased and manufacturing executed after order placement, and much of standard inventory is available for immediate shipment. Customers are concentrated in aerospace, pharmaceutical, food & beverage/dairy, chemical, medical, environmental, water/wastewater treatment, pulp & paper, mining, and laboratory testing, supported by AS9100/ISO9001, NADCAP aerospace welding, ITAR, and 3A certifications. In 2024 the company expanded its offering through a partnership with Livic Filtration System, launching the Livic by Newark line of industrial basket strainers and cartridge filters in single, duplex, and multi-vessel configurations. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and revenue figures are not disclosed.
