About Industrial Steel & Wire Co Llc

Industrial Steel & Wire Co. LLC (ISW) is a third-generation, family-owned wire distributor headquartered in Bristol, Connecticut. The company was founded in 1935 by Dr. Harry Furlong in Chicago, Illinois, as Industrial Steel Wire Company. It remains under the leadership of the Furlong family, with Dr. Brian K. Furlong serving as president. ISW stocks and distributes a broad range of wire products—including stainless steel, carbon steel, music wire, basic wire, non-ferrous wire, cold-heading quality, and specialty grades—across six North American service centers totaling 400,000 square feet of warehouse space. The company provides value-added processing such as torsion straightening (diameters .0300–.1250 in), cut-to-length, slitting, tension leveling, and multiple packaging options (continuous coils, catch-weight coils, reel-less cores, reels, and spools). The company emphasizes its “ISW Pledge” of service, trust, selection, and response—principles dating to Harry Furlong’s original goal of earning customer confidence with every order. Differentiators include one-hour quotes, same-day shipping on stocked items, and a network of six strategically located warehouses to ensure rapid delivery.
