New York Wire manufactures a broad range of industrial meshs used in various end uses. No other company in the world offers the number of looms to weave open mesh products and has the ability to coat the metal using paint, powder and galvanized zinc.

Francis J. Root founded the Hamilton Wire company of Hamilton, New York in 1888. He then merged the company with three other wire weavers; P.S. de Witt & Sons of Brooklyn, New York; Homer Wire Cloth of Homer, New York; and York Wire Cloth of York, Pennsylvania. In 1892 he renamed the company New York Wire Cloth.

Originally, screen products for use in residential and commercial construction were made from a combination of horsehair and linen. The earliest processing was carried out by the fabric makers of the early 1600's. This accounts for the screening industry's relationship to the textile industry in production methods and standards.

New York Wire Company engineered the first looms that were capable of weaving metal wire. A low carbon steel was the first metal used for manufacturing industrial mesh. The early 1900's saw the introduction of new metals for mesh including bronze and galvanized steel. New York Wire Company also developed the first bar looms and was the first producer to use bobbinless looms, allowing for continuous feed of wire increasing production speed. This process made it possible to weave electro-galvanized wire successfully. In 1915, New York Wire Company patented the electro-galvanized mesh process that produced mesh with a greater life cycle at a lower cost. This process became the standard for over thirty years.

In 1933, New York Wire Company introduced the first successful aluminum mesh. It had greater weathering characteristics and stayed cleaner than other metals. In 1954, New York Wire Company introduced the first high-speed wire weaving looms in the world.
