Alpha Wire Products

Setting the Industry Standard for Over 85 Years
Alpha Wire manufactures, markets, and distributes wire, multi-conductor cables, tubing, and related products for electronic and electrical markets.

Founded in New York City as a supplier of wire strengtheners to the millinery industry in 1922, Alpha Wire grew to become a valued supplier to the expanding radio industry through the 1930's by producing wire and insulators for antennas.  Alpha used materials such as rubber and varnish-impregnated textiles coat wire products. In the decades that followed, business was propelled by the defence industry's electronic needs during World War II and by the advent of television. Alpha’s product line grew proportionately, and Alpha began to explore new applications and introduced the use of plastics to insulate the wire and cables.

Alpha was proud to receive its first ISO 9000 certification in 1994 and ISO 9001 certification in 2000.

During the first decade of the 21st century, Manhattan Wire Products, Dearborn Wire and Cable, and Kerrigan Lewis joined the Alpha family, enhancing our already broad product line with industry-respected brands for the electrical industry, marine applications, and specialty needs such as litz wire.
