What makes Pacer One of the Top Wire Manufacturers in the U.S.?

Since Pacer first opened its doors, customers have come to know us for our wire, cable, and electrical components. Internally, there has been a singular focus, quality. Pacer has used its time to refine and innovate the processes of manufacturing wire only to start the cycle again. The goal is not to beat the competition. The goal is and has always been, to set the standard. To create wire that can keep people safe for as long as possible in the toughest environments out there. More than wire, we offer solutions.

Why do some of the world’s largest boat builders consistently turn to Pacer for their electrical solutions?

It is simple. Pacer manufactures some of the highest-quality wire and cable available. Our products can be found in boats by such companies as Nautique, Hatteras, Pursuit, Formula Boats, Yellowfin, Sea Hunt, Stingray, Monterey, Grady-White, Chris-Craft, Power Cat, as well as many others. These are not small name companies. These are large names that trust Pacer. They know that our wire is built from finely stranded annealed Type 2 Class K tinned copper. That our wire is built to tackle the toughest environments in the world. That our wire is resistant to acid, alkali, oil, gasoline, flame, moisture, and abrasion. It does not stop there; these companies trust us for more than our wire. Our custom switch covers can be found on a wide range of electrical equipment, and our custom battery cable assemblies can be found in everything from vintage hot rods to golf carts. This is why Pacer is a top wire manufacturer in the U.S. You see, it is not just because our wire sets the standard so high. It is because we offer solutions to problems other manufacturers fail to even consider. Problems such as lead times. Where other companies are satisfied with their output, Pacer seeks to improve every aspect of the production process and that includes lead times.

How does reduced lead times affect my business?

Reduced lead times mean that our customers get their products sooner which means that they can satisfy their clients faster than before. Solutions are what keep businesses going. It is also what keeps them coming back to us. Our business is always changing and to compete you need to be able to supply products in a timely manner. Pacer has worked tirelessly to reduce our lead times across the board. By closely analyzing our methods and procedures, we have been able to isolate areas prime for improvement. We were able to make procedures more efficient by streamlining certain methods and reducing the time and distance between processes throughout the entire facility. Over a relatively short period of time, we have been able to reduce lead times in our production facilities by 20%. This has led us to be able to fill orders faster and begin working on new orders sooner. Reduced lead times ensure that our clients can count on their products being manufactured, inspected, packaged, and shipped in a timely manner. Through all of this, we maintained our high standards for wire production in order to ensure that our flagship product meets the high standards our customers have come to expect. Beyond just reducing lead times, Pacer has worked to expand production capabilities. Capabilities that allow us to solve problems other companies cannot begin to deal with.

What capabilities does Pacer offer?

Offering solutions is why we expanded our capabilities to include things like custom switch cover production, and manufacturing custom battery cable assemblies. There are entire companies that have been built based around just one of these capabilities. By utilizing a wide range of capabilities, and mastering each of them, we can offer solutions other companies cannot compete with. Many of these capabilities mentioned tie directly into our wire manufacturing. We understand that finding multiple sources is problematic and time-consuming which is why we try to offer as many solutions in one location as possible. All our capabilities provide our customers with access to things that may not be able to find elsewhere. We do not want our customers to walk away with a product. We want them to walk away with a solution.

Another great example is where we encountered a supply chain issue that resulted in the inability to acquire essential materials clients needed for production. Pacer rose to the challenge and found alternative supply chains to ensure that our clients received the high-quality parts they needed when they needed them with no time delay impacting production. By offering solutions to our clients, we ensure that they can trust us to take care of issues as they arise. Where other companies may turn you away, Pacer welcomes the challenge to find a solution.

How long has Pacer been in business?

Established in 1979, Pacer has spent decades learning and growing with the marine industry. Rather than be satisfied with what we can do, we have used this time to improve our methods, processes, and standards. Always finding ways to improve. This is how we developed our proprietary insulation based on durability, flexibility, and longevity. Insulation strong enough to outlast the competition. We have used our extensive knowledge of the marine and various industries to find solutions and handle situations others are not prepared or equipped for. Our experience gives us the knowledge, tenacity, and skill set needed to navigate the ever-changing market. Other companies fail to think outside the wheelhouse of their specialty. We at Pacer realize that the market and industry are ever-changing. This is why we devote so much time to growth, development, and client solutions. We want our clients to know that they can turn to us and will find the answers they are looking for.

With 40 years’ experience and the trust of some of the world’s largest boat builders, Pacer has been able to reduce lead times, offer new, advancing capabilities, and cultivate unique solutions for our customers. We do not just offer products, we offer solutions. This is why, when you see Pacer on your wire, cable, and electrical products, you know that you have quality.
