Southwire announces major facilities restructuring
Written by Egest Balla
Southwire has unveiled a significant restructuring plan aimed at optimizing its distribution footprint and enhancing customer service across North America. The company has announced the closure of three California facilities and a reduction in workforce, marking a strategic shift in its operations.
Three Southwire facilities in California are slated for closure: Santa Fe Springs and Livermore, both closing on October 1, and Rancho Cucamonga, closing on November 1. Each of these facilities has played a crucial role in Southwire’s West Coast operations. The Rancho Cucamonga Customer Service Center (CSC) has been the primary location supporting Infrastructure Products and Electrical Products and Engineered Solutions (EP & ES) since 2005. The Livermore facility, acquired in 2020 with the purchase of Construction Electrical Products (CEP), has contributed to EP & ES growth. The Santa Fe Springs facility has primarily supported EP & ES operations since 2019.
