National Wire Products

What National Wire Products does

National Wire Products is a privately held Indian industrial machinery manufacturer founded in 1963 and headquartered at Rajkot, Gujarat. The company designs and manufactures wire nail making machines and wire drawing machines, producing a portfolio that spans entry-level N-series units (e.g., N-1 producing 1-inch nails) through high-speed UR-series machines capable of up to 650 nails per minute, heavy-duty HD-series clout head machines, and specialized roofing nail machines. The line is complemented by wire drawing ancillaries including the WD-565 block, wire pointing machines, mechanical de-scalers, continuous coilers, polishing barrels (PB-500, PB-700A), and dedicated maintenance tooling such as the CG-300 cutter grinder and CHG-200 chequered header grinder.

Manufacturing is carried out at a single modern plant in Rajkot employing CAD/CAM and CNC technology for precision production of hardened and ground components. Proprietary design elements include round indexable gripping dies with eight grooves delivering 8-10x longer service life than standard flat dies, automatic centralized pressure lubrication with enclosed bevel gear chambers, counter-balanced main crank shafts, and wire break detection systems that halt the machine on breakage. The firm has co-developed specialized low-noise, low-maintenance machines and the NS Series with John Hassall Inc. of New York to address developed-nation markets.

The business model is direct equipment sales of capital machinery to wire processing manufacturers, with a consultative, quote-based pricing approach via the company website. The firm does not publicly disclose pricing. Its installed base exceeds 2,000 machines across more than 40 countries, indicating an export-oriented sales motion alongside the Indian domestic market. The company has no disclosed institutional investors, subsidiaries, or M&A activity and appears to operate as a founder- or family-owned manufacturing enterprise.

• Washer Head Roofing Nail Machine Specialized machine for producing roofing nails with washers riveted on heads, featuring automatic electronic vibrator for continuous washer loading and capable of producing nails from round, square, or pre-twisted wire.
• WD-565 (Wire Drawing Machine) Wire drawing machine with 565mm diameter block and internally water-cooled drawing block, featuring wire break detection switch, vertical die box adjustment, and case-hardened gear box.
• Wire Pointing Machine Ancillary machine that points the starting end of wire before it enters the wire drawing die, using two rotating rollers with different sized grooves to create a pointed end for easy passage through dies.
• Mechanical De-Scaler Ancillary machine used to remove scales from wire rod before it passes through the first die by flexing the rod over six pulleys (three horizontal, three vertical) to break loose high-temperature scale.
• Continuous Coiler Ancillary machine fitted adjacent to the final block of a wire drawing plant that unwinds wire from the preceding block to create dead cast coils, enabling non-stop production without stopping the wire drawing machine.
• PB-500 (Polishing Barrel) Polishing barrel for finishing wire nails with saw dust or leather pieces, available in 250kg and 500kg capacities per charge to achieve bright, shiny appearance on finished nails.
