The History of Southwire

southwireRoy Richards, Sr. founded a small construction company in 1937 to erect power poles. Only two and half years later, the company had strung 3,500 miles of cable. In 1950, Mr. Richards went on to start a small, family-owned operation to manufacture wire. Southwire Company opened with only twelve employees, and within the first two years it had shipped 5 million pounds of wire.
