Alpha Wire: 100 Years of Engineered Connectivity Solutions

Founded in 1922 in New York, Alpha Wire has grown from a wire supplier for women’s hats to a global leader in cable, wire, heat-shrink tubing, and accessories for demanding industrial and electronic applications. Through decades of innovation—from serving the early radio and WWII defense industries to launching EcoWire®, the first zero-halogen hook-up wire—Alpha Wire has set industry standards in performance, sustainability, and versatility.

Today, Alpha Wire provides purpose-driven connectivity solutions tailored for Industrial Automation, Medical, Aerospace & Defense, Semiconductor, Energy, and Consumer Electronics markets. Their product portfolio includes flexible automation cabling, wire management tools, and highly engineered custom cables, with manufacturing and distribution across the U.S., UK, China, and Hong Kong. Known for short minimum runs and consultative service, Alpha supports both high-volume OEMs and specialized small-batch needs.

Alpha’s legacy of quality, environmental responsibility, and engineering excellence enables them to deliver trusted solutions even in harsh environments—whether it's a factory floor robot or a wind-swept oil rig. IBS Electronics proudly distributes Alpha Wire products to help customers meet exacting performance and regulatory standards.
