New ventures bring new opportunities and many new relationships. As we approach the New Year tomorrow I want to thank all our partners and friends in the business and send well wishes for a great New Year.
As I look back at the past year, I reflect on the addition of GAW chain link fence to the Southwestern Wire Inc. product line with the acquisition of the General Wire mill in Tulsa, OK. The GAW chain link fence product has been a staple of the industry for many years and adding this to our product line has brought many new relationships to the forefront for Southwestern Wire Inc. The team at Southwestern Wire Tulsa, brings many years of experience in manufacturing the GAW chain link fence products and I am glad to have them on my team.
A message from our principal owners, “We thank each and every one of you who have joined our team, best to you all in the New Year and God Bless!”

For the last 20 years Southwestern Wire Inc, Norman, OK has been producing domestic tension bars for the chain link fence industry. Manufacturing processes have changed a bit over that 20 year period but the quality of the end product has continued to improve.

With Southwestern Wire controlling the process from beginning to end we can ensure that the product you receive has undergone the highest quality standards you have come to expect from all Southwestern Wire products.
