Rea Magnet Wire (Nexans) — Fort Wayne Plant (Fort Wayne, IN)

Rea Magnet Wire Company manufacturing facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana — located within miles of the Essex Furukawa headquarters. Both Essex Furukawa and Rea Magnet Wire are physically located in Fort Wayne, making this small Indiana city the single most concentrated magnet wire manufacturing hub in North America. Both plants draw from the same regional labor pool and the same local copper rod suppliers. A major weather event (tornado, ice storm) or infrastructure disruption affecting Fort Wayne, Indiana could simultaneously impact both of North America's largest magnet wire manufacturers.
