In 2007, the Cox Family Enterprise Center at Kennesaw State University recognized Southwire as a Georgia Family Business of the Year – a big honor for us. Many companies claim to operate with family values – we really do.


We’re owned by a family – the descendents of our founder, Roy Richards, Sr. – that makes a difference. Our shareholders aren’t faceless names on stock certificates, worrying endlessly about the current share price. They’re people we know, people who know us – and they think about the long term.


We’re a family business in another sense as well. Generations of fathers and sons, brothers and sisters and husbands and wives all have worked and continue to work at Southwire. Many employees have more than 20, 30 even 40 years with Southwire. That kind of loyalty adds value to our company. It demands the company’s loyalty in return.


So employee welfare is a no-brainer at Southwire. It’s what we mean by living well.


At Southwire, living well is much more than earning competitive wages and benefits. It also means working safely in safe environments; making health and wellness part of our daily lives; improving ourselves through continued education and training; offering a helping hand to fellow employees in need; drawing on diverse talents, experiences and ideas; and enjoying what we do. It means that we are respected and valuable members of the Southwire team – working together to make life better for all who depend on us.
