Kalas Manufacturing, Inc.

About

For over a half century, Kalas has been delivering dependable solutions to our customers. The original founding members of the company were as passionate about manufacturing quality wire and cable products as they were about creating jobs in their local communities and opportunities for their associates.

As a privately held family business, the Kalas family spans more than the three generations of Witwer men who have held leadership positions, and extends to include all 700 associates. We come together with the collective purpose to improve the lives we touch. By honoring our commitments, delivering value, and demonstrating our dependability with collaborative partnerships, we pride ourselves not only on the quality of our materials, but also the quality of our character.

    Reliable
    Experienced
    Dependable
    Trusted


History

In the back room of the Denver Hardware Store in 1958, Paul Witwer, Walter Cubberley and Floyd Witwer agreed to start a wire business. Over the years and decades that followed, they saw the single room in the hardware store grow to include five manufacturing locations, an inventory warehouse, and a conference center that employed over 700 associates, and had annual sales approaching $300mm.

The men partnered in other endeavors over the years as well to create strategically and vertically integrated brands and businesses to compliment the Kalas portfolio. Throughout their periods of growth, they never lost sight of their initial vision of delivering quality products to valued customers, whether down the street, or across the globe.

Our entrepreneurial spirit, inherent desire to create opportunities for associates and passion to foster mutually beneficial partnerships with our customers sets Kalas apart and has created the strong foundation for our past, current and future success.

Executive Team

Founded by engineers, Kalas has always been a solutions-based provider of wire and cable applications. Our unique vertically integrated business and production model allows for a comprehensive and technical approach that is unmatched in the industry. Leading Kalas as president and CEO is a third generation family member who brings with him the same dedication and values that launched the company over 50 years ago. Jack Witwer grew up within Kalas and the wire industry, learning not only what it takes to run the business, but also how to provide valuable solutions and quality products to our diverse customer base.
