Loos & Company has completed upgrades to its wire and stranding operations with the installation of three new, in-line, ultrasonic wire cleaners and a massive expansion of the Medical Technology Division. The new equipment adds 24 additional lines of capacity to complete a wire mill expansion project which began in the spring of this year. “We’re very excited to have the additional capacity,” according to Wire Mill general manager Joe Stagon ”We’ve been able to both improve product quality, increase output, and continue to support our expanding customer base”.

The additional capacity marks a continuance of planned upgrades that Loos & Company is making to its equipment and facilities. The cleaning line upgrade will provide more throughput of upstream wire products into the company’s specialized product manufacturing divisions. “We have seen an increase in business across our entire product line over the last few months“, says Wire Mill Sales Manager Mike Fredrickson, “and our new equipment has allowed us to keep up with customer demands, in both quantity and quality“.

In addition to wire mill upgrades, the Medical Technology Division has recently been remodeled - doubling the size of its production space. Part of this was the inclusion of a new 12 bay strander and office space for Medical Quality Control. This expansion allows for future growth and will soon be the home to our expanded medical fine wire drawing operation.

Loos is planning to make additional investments in the coming months, focusing on the expansion of specialty wire drawing and coiling capacity for products destined for resource recovery and energy production.
