Seal Wire Company has threaded itself into the fabric of North Carolina since it was founded nearly half a century ago by Paul W. and Ruth D. Seal.  The company has made its home in the town of Shelby, North Carolina (less than 50 miles southwest of Charlotte) since 1956. 

Originally located on Lafayette Street, Seal’s first factory was merely 10,000 square feet.  It was staffed by only three people and housed just one drawing machine.  In those early days, the company’s sole product was bare copper wire that sold for 26 cents per pound.  As the company moved steadily forward, it began to expand its product line to include bare copper, galvanized steel strand, and aluminum. 

Other things changed through the years:  Paul and Ruth’s daughter and son-in-law, Susan and Johnny Haskell, bring a new generation to a family business that has grown to encompass three locations, over 100,000 square feet of space and a staff of nearly three dozen.  Today, Seal Wire Company sells over 3 million pounds of wire per year and ships all over the world.

But as much as some things have changed, one thing has remained a constant at Seal Wire Company, for over 50 years – a dedication to excellence.  The philosophy of supplying a quality product at a competitive price backed by a solid reputation has earned the “Seal of Approval” from customers again and again.
