Quality that stands the test of time.‘Who we are...... Brief History American Wire & Cable Co., Inc. is currently located at Km. 16 South Superhighway, Parafiaque City. We are one of the country’s leading manufacturers of electrical wires and cables. Our product is known with the brand name of DURAFLEX. WCC is the pioneer when it comes to the manufacturing of wire and cable. It was formally organized in the year of 1954 and started its operation since 1956. Our plant was originally located at Pasong Tamo, Makati. After six successful years of operation, there was a demand for an increase in volume of ‘our products henea, the company decided to move to a larger plant on its present address,Team cere CeCe) ‘Amatioan Wire & Cobo Ca Ie i cute lectad at Kn. 16 South Supatighvay,Parafingve Ciy Wo ae one ofthe Counts eaang manuacures 3 ecrea wre atseanos, Ou pod kro ah brand rare Bf DURAFLEX.
