History
Where It All Started
The start of Madsen Steel Wire dates back to 1938.
We got our start as Jaxon Wire, a regional producer of 
fabricated wire products located in Jackson, Michigan.
Jaxon Wire was an established leader in the development and manufacture of a wide range of wire, wire mesh and expanded metal baskets and containers. Jaxon Wire cornered the market on material handling products including “Jaxon Rugged Jax” baskets and containers.
In 1981 the company changed ownership and became known as Madsen Steel Wire Products, Inc. In 1982, the company moved a few miles down the road to Orland, Indiana just over the Michigan state line.
The company was acquired in 1988 by Wall Industries, and was the major supplier of wire parts to K-Mart stores.
The Retail Market
Over time and as the retail market changed, we began to focus our custom wire forming on store fixtures and the retail point of purchase displays for many new customers. We also got into the bakery and commercial food service industries.
In 2005, Madsen Steel Wire Products was then acquired by General Cage who was a major provider of dog cages and other wire products to the pet industry.
As many wire cages started going overseas for manufacturing, General Cage decided to sell the assets of Madsen Steel Wire Products to family members who were involved in the growth of the metal fabrication company located in Noblesville, IN.
The future is bright for Madsen Steel Wire as the wire forming industry is rebounding in the United States. We look forward to adding much to the already great history of Madsen Steel Wire.
Future Plans
Madsen Steel Wire plans to continue our steady growth through investment in the latest wire forming and fabricating technology, diligently working to have an educated and talented workforce, and preserving our focus on the needs of our customers.
The owners of Madsen Steel Wire have “forward thinking” in their DNA. Come back regularly to see the growth our growth as we have great plans for this wire forming company.
