Minnesota Wire & Cable Co. (MWCC)

Now in its fourth decade, Minnesota Wire & Cable Co. (MWCC) continues to reflect the character and values of the Wagner family by placing the highest priority on meeting customer and employee needs while contributing to the vitality of the local community.

Fred Wagner, founder of MWCC, originally established Wagner Consultants Corporation (WCC), a manufacturers' representative firm for general electronic components, in 1968. After wire and cable products were added to its line in the mid-1970s, WCC was renamed Minnesota Wire & Cable Co. in 1978. That same year, MWCC began manufactuing retractile cords and refocused its resources on serving the medical industry. In 1980, MWCC began processing wire and cable. The company achieved full vertical integration during the 1980s with the addition of molding machines, a tooling department, extrusion lines, and the addition of a manufacturing facility in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

Growth during the 1990s has been strong and consistent, with sales revenues tripling. In addition MWCC established subsidiaries and entered new markets through acquisition.

MWCC is poised for further growth as it continues to meet its customers' most challenging wire and cable needs.
