GCG, a value-added distributor of connectivity, power, automation, and supply chain solutions, announced it has acquired United Wire & Cable (UWC), a specialty provider of proprietary power cable systems and related products serving the data center, power, and industrial markets across North America. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Founded more than four decades ago as a family-owned business and headquartered in Toronto, Ontario, UWC has established a reputation for delivering cable solutions used in critical markets and demanding environments. The company is now led by second-generation owners Laura-Anne Tredenick and Robyn Baldasti and continues to focus on technical expertise and customer service.
UWC’s core offerings include cable bus feeder systems under the MAXIAMP brand, vertical mineshaft cables, field safety tools and a range of power cable products. The company serves customers across North America through a network of direct and indirect sales representatives.
Following the acquisition, UWC will operate within GCG’s Custom Engineered Solutions segment. The combination is designed to strengthen GCG’s capabilities in proprietary and engineered power solutions and expand its presence in high-growth applications, particularly data centers and mission-critical power infrastructure. UWC will continue operating under its existing brand while gaining access to GCG’s broader resources, supply chain capabilities and operational support.
United Wire & Cable marks GCG’s 11th acquisition over the past six years, reflecting the company’s continued focus on expanding its proprietary product portfolio and engineered solutions supporting critical infrastructure across North America.
GCG serves markets including industrial automation, communications, data centers and industrial OEM, and operates cable assembly facilities. The company is also a wire and cable provider to the U.S. Navy.
