With Kris-Tech expansion done, company continues a legacy started 40 years ago

Kris-Tech Wire, which completed the expansion of its operations at Rome, New York, earlier this year, now looks forward to continuing its mission that started 40 years ago,

A press release said that the company—founded in 1984 by twin brothers Gerry and Glenn Brodock—grew over time to be a leading manufacturer of U.S.-made industrial wire and cable products. Today, the third-generation family business serves a wide range of building, commercial, and utility industries. The expansion project saw its Rome location have double the production, warehouse and office space. It was the most ambitious project since opening its stocking facility in Houston, Texas, in early 2022. It’s also part of a multi-year campaign to expand operations and product lines.

“We’re excited to continue investing in our people, customers, and community,” Kris-Tech CEO and President Graham Brodock said. “This expansion is a statement of our belief in our business and team, and we look forward to yet another one soon.”

The additional space allows the housing of several added production lines, including Kris-Tech’s recently expanded tray cable division, stocking and storage areas, training rooms, and more. The expansion project will also bring a nearby production facility back to Rome.

Throughout its history, the company has maintained close ties to the region. Kris-Tech was the recipient of two regional awards in the spring of 2024. First, the company received the CNY Business Journal’s Mohawk Valley GEAR (Growth, Energy, and Revitalize) award for their contributions to the region’s job market, real estate, social scene, and community improvement. The second award was the Chamber Alliance of the Mohawk Valley’s inaugural William K. Guglielmo Legacy Award for 2024. This award honors companies improving the Mohawk Valley business community, something the award’s namesake, Bill Guglielmo, did for 50 years with the Rome Area Chamber of Commerce.
