What Midwest Wire Products does

Midwest Wire Products, LLC is a privately held, full-service custom metal forming manufacturer based in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, founded in 1969 and operating with 51-100 employees from a single facility at 649 S. Lansing Ave. The company produces custom wireforms and stampings to customer specifications, supporting industrial manufacturing customers across horizontal use cases including wire forms, stamped parts, welded assemblies, fan guards, shelves, grills, and specialty industrial wire components.

Its manufacturing capability set spans nine integrated processes under one roof: fourslide/multislide forming (wire diameters .060 to .500 inch, up to 6-ton press), CNC bending (.075 to .500 inch wire with coil or hopper feed), heavy gauge wire forming (up to 1.25 inch diameter), metal stamping (drawing, blanking, trimming, piercing, forming), robotic MIG/TIG welding (9.5 ft work envelope, six-axis torch with in-house-designed weld jigs), broaching and cold heading (up to 5 tons / 36 inch stroke and 1/2 inch diameter upset), burnishing, and hand/mechanical assembly overseen by a Certified Weld Inspector. An in-house tooling department designs and maintains cold heading tooling, weld jigs, and stamping tools, and the facility operates under an ANAB-accredited ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System certified 2023-2026.

The business model is project-based and quote-driven: customers submit specifications through an RFQ form, toll-free phone (1-800-445-0225), or via a regional sales representative network organized by US state. Revenue is generated one part order at a time with no subscription or recurring component; pricing is determined per RFQ based on part complexity, annual quantities, material, and finish requirements. Prototypes and samples are available on separate quote terms, and the company offers logistics support for customer inventory control. The go-to-market is sales-led and domestic, with no disclosed international operations, no institutional investors, and no parent company.
