Central Wire produces wire in several different product lines and is used in both formed and finished components throughout the appliance industry. Whether it is a bright, spring temper wire whip used with food mixers, a bright drawn- heavy wire form used to push ice from an ice maker, or one of a wide array of stainless steel fasteners used in appliance assembly, our wire serves to fill nearly every need for clean and bright food grade stainless steel. We also provide a line of wires used to produce fasteners and springs for consumer appliances. Central Wire types 304, 316 and 430 are used primarily for appliance applications.

Superior coatings and lubricants provide for high productivity rates when cold formers head or bend our wires into final shape. Many of our customers ask for a special wire finish we supply called electro-polishing quality, EPQ, wire. Once formed and tack welded into a rack or basket, our wire can be polished to a high luster just by immersing the assembly in an electrically charged tank with electrolyte. After a short time, the part comes totally bright, clean and ready for use.

Manufactured in copper base, copper-nickel, nickel-chrome, iron-chrome-aluminum, or other alloys based on customer need, Central Wire manufactured resistance wire is used in various applications such as heating elements for many household appliances such as toasters, hair dryers, air heaters, irons, and heating pads. Our wire is used in small electrical motors and associated machinery, in cable wire, and in many applications involving high voltage and flame resistant applications. We supply wire that is manufactured into tubular heating elements for home dishwashers and small home appliances from electric fry pans to woks, hobby equipment to pet care products.
