Alconex Specialty Products, Inc. is based on a unique manufacturing process called continuous extrusion. Alconex started as an aluminum magnet wire supplier located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Alconex began with one bare aluminum line, one wrapped aluminum line, and three employees. The primary industry that Alconex served in the early years was the dry-type transformer industry.
Today, Alconex supplies both aluminum and copper magnet wire. Alconex operates bare aluminum and bare copper lines, insulated aluminum and insulated copper lines, and works three shifts daily. Alconex still remains a major supplier to the dry-type transformer industry, but is now also a supplier in the fluid-filled transformer industry, motor industry, as well as the generator and separator industries.
