Our story
It started with one man and a better idea of service.
In 1990, Jon Lawson started Ontario Wire & Cable with a goal to change what service meant in the wire and cable industry. Over 35 years later the Lawson name still runs through the company, with plans to grow and keep building meaningful customer relationships.
Ontario Wire & Cable is more than an established business — it's an extension of the Lawson family.
In our industry the products rarely change — the quality of service is what varies.
