Okonite is America's oldest independent wire and cable manufacturer, with a history of over 120 years of service to the electric industry. Since 1976, Okonite has operated under an Employee Stock Ownership Trust (ESOT) form of ownership. Our products are manufactured and sold by employees who have a dedicated interest in providing you with the highest quality possible wire and cable. Okonite also maintains the largest direct sales network in the industry. This network is electronically linked to six service centers, providing access to a nationwide stock inventory. Six manufacturing plants, all located in the United States, provide our customers with a complete array of wire and cable products to satisfy their requirements. Our Orangeburg, South Carolina Facilities, operational in 1993, have undergone a major expansion program.
