Wire processing machinery is being purchased more and more by small companies who do not want to outsource their wire processing. While the equipment purchase cost may high, most new and used wire manufacturing equipment companies offer financing to help make the purchase easier for smaller companies. This financing allows you to review the amount of money you spend outsourcing and compare it to the amount of the equipment per month. Most businesses find that they save at least 10% if they purchase the equipment.

Purchasing wire processing machines gives a company the power to control when, how and to what quality their wire processing and manufacturing will be done. The basic choices involved in wire processing equipment are custom equipment, new equipment and used or refurbished equipment. To locate the right equipment for your company you need to review all of the options before buying.

1. Review custom made wire processing equipment for specialty businesses.

2. Locate new wire and cable processing equipment.

3. Purchase used or refurbished wire manufacturing equipment to save your business money.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Design your own machine for wire work

Buying a custom built machine has many benefits that include making the machine the size you want and having the machine do all the things you need without extra features. These wire manufacturing machines are more expensive than factory built machines, but if your company processes wire in many different ways or requires multiple machines, these custom machines are the best choice.

I recommend: Design your own wire processing machine and hire Optimex Engineering Limited to create a custom machine for your company. Buy a custom built machine for your wire needs at All Forming Machinery, Inc. Make your custom wire processing equipment fully automated with components from McClellan Automation Systems.

Purchase new wire manufacturing equipment

New factory made wire processing machines are the first choice for many businesses. New factory made machines normally come with a warranty and service support. They also arrive faster than custom built machines. These wire manufacturing machines give many business owners peace of mind.

I recommend: Visit the Mountain Industrial website to find wire and cable processing equipment as well as hand tolls needed for wire processing. Jun-En Enterprise Corporation has a full line of new wire processing equipment. Browse through the crimp to crimp, cut and strip, harness and various other machines at Komax.

Locate used wire processing machinery

Used wire work machinery is a great way to save your company money. Used and refurbished machines can cost as little as 25% the price of new equipment. While some used machinery does not come with a warranty, a wide number of refurbished machines have limited warranties.

I recommend: Buy used and refurbished equipment with limited warranties from Kitmondo. Visit the EquipMatching website provided by the Sunlit Technology Company to find businesses who want to sell their used wire processing equipment. Look under wire processing machinery at Sterling Machinery to find a variety of used and refurbished machines.
