Alpha Wire manufactures multi-conductor cables, hook-up wire, tubing, and related products for the 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 1930s by producing wire and insulators for antennas.
