The WireCrafters Difference
Since 1967, when WireCrafters was established as a wire job shop, it has become the nation’s leading producer of wire partition products. Contrary to traditional systems, our woven and welded wire partitions are based on the simple idea that panels stack one on top of the other between tubular posts to reach the finished partition height. Our ability to create customizable-sized panels sets us apart from all other competitors.
Our mission is to provide our customers with creative solutions for their safety, security, and storage needs while meeting commitments with exceptional quality by people who care.
