AmerCable’s GEXOL brand is a key addition to Houston Wire & Cable’s inventory line of electrical and mechanical wire and cable, the company said.

The new alliance will broaden HWCC’s inventory position within the Type P drilling rig and marine cable market and expand AmerCable’s national sales and support coverage.
