Some milestones are hard to put into words. This is one of them. 

Today, we celebrate Milton Burson, Southwire’s longest-tenured active team member, as he marks an incredible 62 years with the company. 

Since joining Southwire in 1964, Milton has witnessed decades of change and growth and, along the way, has made a lasting impact through his work, relationships and commitment to Southwire. 

Fittingly, Milton's anniversary falls on Veterans Day, giving us the chance to honor another meaningful part of his story. Milton is a proud U.S. Marine Corps veteran who trained at Parris Island and served his country at Camp Lejeune and Camp Pendleton. 

From his service in the Marine Corps to his 62 years at Southwire, Milton's story is one of honor, courage and commitment.  

Hear Milton reflect on his remarkable journey and the moments that have shaped his legacy at Southwire in the video below.
