Judd Wire Inc. Celebrates its 20 and 55th Year Anniversaries

Chelsey Bedaw - Judd Wire Inc.

On Thursday, May 22, 2008 at their headquarters in Turners Falls Massachusetts, Judd Wire Inc. celebrated its 20 and 55th year anniversaries with employees, sales representatives and members of the local community.  2008 marks the 55th anniversary of Mr. Thomas Judd founding Judd Wire in Turners Falls in 1953 as well as the 20th anniversary of Judd becoming a member of its parent company, Sumitomo Electric Industries in 1988.

Judd Wire President Toshi Kinuta remarked during his address to employees and guests that over the past 20 years Judd, like the authentic Japanese cherry tree located at the front entrance of the facility, has grown from a very small tree into a flourishing, recognizable part of the community. His story of the cherry tree symbolizes Judd Wire’s transition from being a small, locally owned and operated business, into a successful and ever-growing member of the worldwide wire and cable industry.

President Kinuta made note that during the past 20 years of being a subsidiary of SEI, Judd Wire’s sales have become nearly 7 times greater than they were back in 1988. 20 years ago, the business mainly consisted of only Aerospace and Electronics products. Now in 2008, Judd Wire has extended its product lines into the Automotive and Telecommunications markets as well. “Of course like every business, Judd had both their share of good and very tough times, especially during the IT crash at the turn of the century”. Mr. Kinuta pointed out that “Judd has always been supported by good employees, Sales Representatives and community,” and without their support Judd could not have grown into the successful business they are today, and would not be able to continue to grow and prosper in the future.

Several local government officials also spoke during the celebration, emphasizing to guests and employees how essential Judd Wire has been in the growth of the community over the past 55 years. Each made specific references to the contributions Judd and its employees have made to local programs and the overall quality of life that can be found in the area.
