Southwire acquiring Tappan Wire and Cable
July 27, 2010
Southwire Co. has purchased New York-based Tappan Wire & Cable Inc., which supplies the electronics, signal/control and industrial markets with cables for security and access control, coax video, fire alarm, plenums, category, home automation, etc. (Tappan also makes a variety of specialty and custom electronics cables.)
“This acquisition further strengthens our ability to provide world-class
service to our customers,” said Stuart Thorn, president and CEO of
Southwire. “Southwire can now leverage Tappan’s ability to respond to
requests for custom products, pricing and availability in the cord,
telecom and electronics product category.”
Southwire says this acquisition is a natural progression; the addition of telecom and electronic cables “solidifies Southwire’s position as an industry-leading manufacturer of portable cord products, while also adding to Southwire’s ability to offer differentiated, custom products that provide value-added benefits to end users”.
“Current Tappan customers can expect the same level of service and product availability they are accustomed to receiving,” said Darren Krych, president of Tappan Wire and Cable.
