Process Improvement
SCR follow-up services ensure our customers have access to
the most current know-how and practices available, advances in
automation, process cost reduction, and product quality improve-
ments. Southwire offers continued technical support, maintenance
guidance and parts replacement for the life of the system.
Robust Equipment
SCR continuous rod systems are available in several sizes and
configurations to meet your needs. Working with Primetals
Technologies USA LLC, Southwire offers a complete rod system
from melting furnaces to finished coils. We offer dual reel coilers
when dense level wound coils are desired.
Technical Support
Southwire’s D.B. Cofer Technology Center enables us to provide
extensive technical support to our rod customers. One key area is
the metallurgy department. In addition to providing a resource for
customer support, the metallurgy department is a driving force
