Lexco Cable continues to invest in equipment that supports greater capacity, precision, and flexibility for custom wire rope assemblies. Our new press increases our ability to swage wire rope diameters from 1/4" to 1-1/4", helping us support a wider range of assembly needs. We’ve also added an SR38 CNC machine that expands our CNC capacity, allows us to machine up to 1-1/2" round bar stock, and gives us more axis travel for larger custom wire rope fittings, threaded sleeves, and longer parts.

These additions help us keep more capabilities in-house while supporting efficient production for complex custom projects.

August marks two years since Lexco Cable went live with our Masterplan ERP system, and the upgrade continues to support better service behind the scenes. By helping our team move toward paperless workflows, improve scheduling, and gain clearer visibility into inventory and production details, the system has strengthened how we track, manage, and fulfill customer orders.

Today, our team can assign production orders faster, clock orders with greater accuracy, process repeat assembly orders more efficiently, and maintain stronger inventory accuracy through serialized reels. As we continue refining our processes, our goal remains to deliver accurate, responsive service with the speed and precision customers expect from Lexco.
