The National Electrical Contractor Association (NECA) announced on June 18 that Southwire has been selected to receive the NECA Industry Partner Award. The company will receive its award at the NECA 2018 conference, taking place in Philadelphia from September 29 to October 2.

The NECA Industry Partner Award was established in 1996 to honour individuals or organizations allied with the electrical construction industry whose decisions, actions, or cooperation with NECA contribute to the industry’s success. This is Southwire’s first time winning the Industry Partner Award, and one of four electrical manufacturers to receive the award since it was created.

“We are extremely honoured to receive this recognition from NECA,” says Juan Hernandez, Southwire’s Senior Vice President of End User Contractors. “It reinforces our commitment to develop new products, solutions and services that help increase safety and productivity on the jobsite, and play an active role in solving the challenges that are present in our industry.”

Southwire has been a Premier Partner with NECA since 2015, a sponsorship status granted to leading companies in the electrical construction industry. Through this partnership, Southwire has helped train apprentices through the Electrical Training Alliance (ETA) and supports local chapter initiatives. 

Southwire is among a number of companies and individuals that will be honoured with NECA awards for their outstanding contributions at NECA 2018 Philadelphia, taking place September 29-October 2.
