Engineered for a purpose

Copperweld became a leader in the wire and cable industry by engineering wire differently.

Over a century ago, when the metals industry was peddling steel, copper, aluminum and other metals, Copperweld took a different approach. A ragtag group of Pennsylvania engineers and metallurgists worked to develop and refine copper-cladding processes that add strength and reduce corrosion for buried wire and cable. This engineering approach to wire manufacturing spurred a century-long saga of innovation that helped revolutionize multiple industries. Today, we continue that same spirit of innovation.

Need a conductor that is stronger or lighter or theft deterrent?  Our bimetallic conductors can be designed to be all of that and more. The possibilities for fine tuning a bimetal's performance and mechanical specifications are nearly endless.

Designed to your specifications

Copperweld works closely with customers to optimize the performance and reliability of new conductors that perfectly suit their wiring applications. Our development engineers and materials specialists can collaborate with you to provide the product you need.

Unlimited options

Any size, any strength, any conductivity, any insulation — we'll engineer a conductor that meets your specific needs.

Here to help

Copperweld has a knowledgeable and growing staff of wire and cable engineers who bring Southern charm and confidence to their work as a result of hands-on testing.

We are only just a phone call away. If you plan on being in the Nashville area, we love to host visitors, too.

Seasoned experts

We built a team of the industry's most talented and experienced wire and cable veterans to provide solutions and support for your wiring needs. Throughout your project timeline, we're available to provide insight and answers to questions related to grounding solutions, wiring methods, product recommendations, product design and layout, Codes and standards insight, and product knowledge.

Lifetime support

At Copperweld, we are “wired to protect” your processes, applications, and intellectual property. This commitment extends far beyond the sale. We remain committed to providing you with technical expertise, resources and advice — even decades after installation. We look forward to your call.

Beyond standards

For some, receiving a compliance mark like UL or ETL is the high bar. For us, maintaining compliance to codes and standards is the minimum requirement.

We test and retest to refine and verify performance. As a result, our CCS products have been used in the harshest environments for 100 years. And CCA products have been in code for the most safety-conscious applications for over half a century.

Customized testing

Testing is one of our core values. It is in testing that we discover the edge of performance of engineered conductors. However, true performance remains highly dependent on environmental conditions and application-specific variables. That is why we offer batch testing services for customers who require reassurance of key product capabilities and properties for their most critical applications.

Pride in our methods

We believe the only way to really understand something is to measure it. In the case of product development, that means testing all the way to failure, not just the standard. In other words, we want to know that our products meet their required standard. And we also want to know how much more our products have to give past the required threshold before they fail.

CCA Sustainability Program

Copper-Clad Aluminum (CCA) building wire is growing in popularity for its ability to reduce theft incentives. Traditional consumer scrap channels—a copper thief's go-to—balk at accepting CCA scrap. That leaves the job to specialized sorting and scrapping operations.

To help with copper sustainability initiatives, Copperweld now offers a CCA Sustainability Program for the recovery of our building wire scrap, ensuring that Copperweld CCA scrap wire receives a second life.

How does this program work?

Once the minimum of scrap has been collected, we will arrange to have the wire picked up and delivered to our scrap facility. The freight is on us! A credit for each pound of insulated CCA can be applied toward future orders. It’s that easy. We take the hassle out of recycling.

Critical material conservation

For over a half of a century, Copperweld has recycled CCA, which can be used in a variety of materials such as brass, aluminum alloys, and stainless steel. Combined with the energy efficiency of Copper-Clad Aluminum, our scrap program reinforces Copperweld’s commitment to long-term sustainability and resource conservation.
