Wires, Spring Wire, Shaped and Flat Wires...
That Is What Wheeler Industrial Is All About.
Wires, Wires and More Wires!
Wheeler Industrial Corporation, Inc., is currently managed by the third
generation copper and copper alloy metal producing professionals. The
President and CEO, Paul Coates, is the son of the late Norman Coates,
who was nationally well known as the CEO of Volco Brass and Copper Company,
founded in 1929, due to the exceptional performance of Volco during
the Second World War. Volco's contributions to the munitions supply
lines for brass cartridges and shell casings, earned national recognition
following the war's end, when our government presented Volco with the
coveted "E Award", for Excellence in Manufacturing. Paul learned
the copper and copper alloy business under his father's tutelage, and
rose to become the President and CEO of Volco.
Wheeler Industrial Corporation, Inc. was founded in 1990 by Paul Coates,
as a greatly diversified product line wire and flat wire mill, to help
fill the void left in the copper alloy based wire and flat wire sectors,
following the collapse of all of the major brass producing mills in
the United States.
Today, WIC is supplying metal to over 90 different market segments within
the United States, and proudly exports USA produced mill products globally.
Currently, David Coates, the fourth generation family member, is learning
the metals business from the factory floor up, under the guidance of
his father, Paul.
