Carrollton, GA – March 18, 2021: Continuing to support its long-term modernization strategy, Southwire will soon begin an expansion project at its Retail East Customer Service Center in Villa Rica, Ga. 
 

“Southwire is investing in a multimillion-dollar modernization initiative that will allow us to best serve our customers, increase our efficiency and introduce newer and better equipment, systems and technology,” said Rich Stinson, Southwire’s president and CEO. “In doing so, we’re reaffirming our commitment to providing a work environment that supports the wellbeing of our employees, our communities and the environment – for today and for the future.
