Southwire held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 9 to celebrate the opening at the company’s new facility in Youngsville, North Carolina.

A press release said that members of the Southwire and Youngsville communities, including county leaders, Southwire customers and Southwire team members and executives, attended the ceremony held at the new facility. “We are thrilled to open this new, expanded facility, and it was an honor to celebrate with the Youngsville team as we officially cut the ribbon,” said Rich Stinson, Southwire’s president and CEO. “As North America continues to electrify, the work that is happening in Youngsville directly connects to our ability to provide world class solutions and service to our markets and customers. This plant is a strong reflection of our dedication to innovation, to modernization and to our people.”

The state-of-the-art facility will serve as the updated and expanded home for the work previously conducted at Southwire’s former Youngsville location. The footprint of the new building covers three times the square footage of the former plant, opening the door for continued operational growth.

“We are so excited about the opportunities and resources this facility will provide for our team here in Youngsville,” said Louie Shar, site leader for Southwire’s Youngsville plant. “The enhancements our team members will see in their workspace will allow us to improve our efficiency and further excel in the service we provide to our customers as we continue to grow.”
