The Radix Wire Company has provided high-temperature, high-performance wire and cable for both original equipment manufacturers and industrial markets since 1944. Because of our broad product line, we can satisfy most applications with standard product offerings. However, if the application demands it, we can also design custom insulating systems using the same state-of-the-art equipment and materials.

Our company has achieved remarkable success in global marketing. In 1995, Radix was presented the Governor's Award for Export Excellence by Governor George Voinovich of Ohio. Over 15% of the total revenue results from export sales. Beginning with sales to Asian appliance assembly contractors in the 80s, the organization has established relationships with OEM appliance manufacturers in Hong Kong, China, Mexico, England, Australia, and Canada.

To assure the best possible service, all wire and cable requests are handled from the outset by an experienced technical representative with responsibility for everything from product design to quoting. In this way, even the most complex requests for quotes can be answered quickly, while most RFQs for standard or modified products can be handled on the same call or within hours.

To expedite production, we maintain two separate manufacturing facilities, using cell manufacturing to focus complete production responsibility with specific production teams. This approach improves quality and throughput while also allowing us to manufacture custom wire and cable quickly and efficiently. Of course, every product we manufacture, custom or standard, is manufactured to the industry's highest standards.

Here's a closer look at the products we make for the markets we serve.

OEM Market

Our full line of lead wire and cable is designed to improve performance and processability, increase reliability, and eliminate handling problems for manufacturers of small and major appliances, HID lighting fixtures, heating elements, motors, transformers, generators, food service equipment, igniters, and more. These products meet all UL, CSA, NEMA, ASTM, and AGA specifications as required, with service temperatures that range from 150 C to 450 C.

Industrial Market

Our industrial instrumentation, power, and control wire and cable is widely used in severe-duty process applications such as petroleum refineries, chemical plants, steel mills, glass plants, and pulp and paper mills. Designed for long life, maximum performance, and a clean instrumentation signal under the most extreme conditions, many of these products also provide exceptional resistance to vertical and horizontal flame propagation as well as increased time to failure under accident conditions. Our industrial wire and cable line offers a temperature range from 200 C to 1100 C, and meets all UL, CSA, ICEA, NEMA, ASTM, and IEC specifications as required.
