─ Background
Three decades of wire fabrication.
Quietly built.
RD Wire Products operates from a single-roof fabrication facility in Etobicoke, Ontario, with a team carrying more than fifty combined years of wire-manufacturing experience. We do not make consumer goods. We make the wire that other companies depend on — every day, in every shift, in every kitchen, hospital, warehouse, and retail floor where it operates.

─ The Operation
Wire is what we do.
Specifically — and only.
RD Wire Products is a fabricator, not a distributor. Every basket, guard, rack, and custom assembly we ship is bent, welded, and finished inside our own facility — by people who have been doing this work, in this industry, for decades. There is no sub-contracted line, no overseas pass-through, no drop-shipping. Tolerances held to the eighth of an inch, lead times held to the day.
We have spent thirty years answering the same question in five different industries: what do you need to fabricate, and by when? The answer is rarely the same twice. A fryer basket for a 200-location quick-service chain has nothing in common with an IV hook for a regional hospital, except that both are made from steel wire and both have to arrive on time, to spec, every time.
We don’t sell catalogs. We sell capacity.
Our team operates without layers. The same fabricator who reads your engineering drawing is often the one running the bender that makes your part. The same quoting voice on the phone is the same voice you’ll hear at delivery. This is deliberate — a flat operation responds faster, catches more errors, and remembers your last order without needing a CRM to surface it.
The result, after thirty years, is what most North American wire fabricators no longer offer: direct conversation with the people who actually make the product, backed by the equipment, training, and material inventory to fulfill what is agreed in that conversation.
─ Capabilities
Six processes. One floor. Zero hand-offs.
Every fabrication discipline RD ships is performed in-house. Below is the production stack from raw stock to finished product.
01
Cutting & Straightening
Precision coil-fed cutting and automatic straightening. Production runs from 50 units to 50,000.
- Batch range: 50 → 50,000 units
02
CNC Bending
Three programmable CNC bending lines handle complex multi-axis geometries from technical drawings. First-article approval on every new part before full run.
- PDF accepted
03
TIG & Resistance Welding
Fifteen welding stations covering TIG, MIG, and resistance welding. Food-grade clean welds for kitchen and medical applications; structural welds for protective wire products.
- 15-station welding shop
- TIG · MIG · resistance
- Food-grade clean welds
- Structural certified operators
04
Surface Finishing
In-house plating, powder coating, polishing, and passivation. Mirror-polish stainless, chrome, black oxide, zinc galvanized, and color powder coat all available without external sub-contracting.
- Mirror-polish stainless
- Chrome plating
- Black oxide
- Zinc galvanized
- Color powder coat
05
Wire Mesh Forming
Engineered wire-mesh panels from tight retail-grade weaves to heavy industrial guarding. Welded or woven mesh in stock or custom dimensions.
- Welded · woven
- Tight retail to heavy industrial
- Custom panel dimensions
- Anti-corrosion options
06
Assembly & QA
Final assembly, riveting, fastening, dimensional inspection, and packing. Every batch ships with a fabrication record. Custom parts ship with first-article documentation.
- Dimensional QA on 100% of custom runs
- Batch fabrication record
- First-article documentation
- Packaged for freight
─ Process
How a wire product becomes yours.
Same five steps for a fifty-unit prototype run as for a fifty-thousand-unit production order. The only thing that changes is the number of pallets at the end.
Step 01
Brief
You send a drawing, a sample, or a description. We translate it into a fabrication-ready spec. Most quotes returned within one business day.
Step 02
Design
Our engineering desk validates dimensions, gauge, finish, and assembly method. Where a drawing is missing, we generate one and confirm it with you before tooling.
Step 03
Prototype
First article fabricated, measured, and shipped for your physical approval. We move to production only after you sign off on the part in your hand.
Step 04
Fabricate
Production runs the spec. Cutting, bending, welding, finishing, and assembly all under one roof on a fixed schedule. No surprises, no sub-contracted gaps.
Step 05
Deliver
Packed for freight, paperwork attached, dispatched on the agreed date. We ship across North America by truckload, LTL, or parcel depending on order size.
─ Industries Served

Every industry RD ships into has its own tolerance for failure. We hold to whichever is tighter.

─ Standards & Sourcing
Built to standard.
Every fabrication run holds to one or more of the following standards.
- MIC
Made in Canada
Etobicoke, Ontario
- FG
Food-Grade Capable
NSF-compatible finishes
─ How We Operate
Three operating rules. Every day. Every order.
01
No layers.
The fabricator who reads your drawing is the one who runs the line that makes your part. The voice on the phone is the voice that signs the dispatch ticket. Flat, fast, accountable.
02
Twenty-four hours.
Most quote requests return inside one business day. Most prototype runs ship inside ten business days. Most production runs hold to the date we agreed at order intake.
─ Parent Company
A subdivision of Almeida’s Wire Inc.
RD Wire Products is the public-facing brand for the engineered fabrication division of Almeida’s Wire Inc. — a Canadian wire manufacturer operating from the same Etobicoke facility since 1996. The same floor, the same fabricators, the same material inventory. The RD Wire brand exists to surface the custom-and-production-run capability that Almwire’s long-tail customer base relies on.
