Southwire Company's decision to expand its operations into Indiana highlight the state's ability to provide resources as well as a business climate that attracts investment capital.

Southwire Company is a Georgia-based wire and cable manufacturer. The business gained a regional presence upon its acquisition of Coleman Cable in February of 2014. Building an additional facility in Bremen demonstrates the company's desire to benefit from Indiana's manufacturing economy instead of expanding operations in Illinois where Coleman is headquartered.

Stu Thorn, President and CEO of Southwire spoke to the impact he believes the Bremen facility will have on business.

"We now are working together to position ourselves at the forefront of the wire and cable industry, while continuing to provide world-class service to our customers. With its central local and the availability of resources and skilled labor, Bremen provides a perfect focal point for that growth." he said.

Engineering and manufacturing have become a huge part of the state's culture, encouraged by academic initiatives and state policy making. This focus provides prospective investors with a labor resource that can achieve complex manufacturing processes.

Many of those processes are enabled by manufacturing software that can automate processes so that they can be performed more efficiently. Implementing these business management solutions if an imperative component of ERP.
