Heritage & History
Southwire was founded in Carrollton, Georgia in 1950 by Roy Richards Sr., a local businessman who identified an opportunity to supply the rapidly expanding American electrical infrastructure with domestically manufactured wire and cable. The company grew from a small Georgia operation into one of the most important electrical wire manufacturers in North America, maintaining its Carrollton headquarters and expanding its manufacturing footprint across the United States.
Carrollton, west of Atlanta in Carroll County, became synonymous with wire manufacturing as Southwire grew into one of the area's dominant employers. The company's growth paralleled the electrification of rural America, the postwar building boom, and the expansion of the American grid that occurred through the second half of the twentieth century.
