About Northern Wire
Northern Wire operates from a 100,000-square-foot facility in Merrill, Wisconsin. Established in 1970, the company has grown into one of the country's largest custom wire-forming operations and now operates as part of the MW Components family, the largest single-source supplier of specialty fasteners in the nation. The company manufactures complex wire forms, specialty bends, and welded products with wire processing capabilities extending up to 12 feet. Its shop runs 25 presses ranging from 10 to 600 tons for flattening, punching, and staking, plus resistance and wire-feed welding. Northern Wire combines automated CNC wire bending with manual forming to handle geometries that automation alone cannot achieve, and it performs a full suite of secondary operations in house — including chamfering, coining, drilling, extruding, grooving, knurling, machining, piercing, tapping, and threading — alongside standalone zinc plating and powder coating services. Northern Wire serves original equipment manufacturers and blue-chip wholesalers and distributors across aerospace, agriculture, appliances, construction, consumer goods, energy, industrial, lawn and garden, medical, power equipment, and recreation markets. Its blended sourcing model pairs domestic quality control with licensed product manufacturing and design consultation to mitigate supply-chain disruptions. The company emphasizes engineering excellence and quality at all levels, holding ISO 9001:2015 certification and QSLM Class 2 compliance with tools calibrated and traceable to NIST. In-house secondary services and a barcode-driven distribution system are cited as key factors in reducing lead times for time-sensitive deliveries.
