Continuing the Tradition
Since its founding in 1967 the Ceeco brand has long been known for innovative designs and technologically advanced equipment focused around the winding and twisting of wire and cable. This strong history of innovation lead to Bartell’s acquisition of Ceeco in 2003 and has served to further develop Bartell’s already strong position as an industry leader and desire for innovation.
The incorporation of Ceeco into the Bartell family included a core group of skilled professionals from sales, engineering and service departments. Over the past decade, these individuals have worked to execute synergies throughout the business while maintaining a familiar customer contact framework allowing the Bartell headquarters in Rome, New York to become the base of operations including sales, engineering, manufacturing, and support.
Ceeco’s equipment line included stranders, High Speed Twinners, Double and Single Twist Stranders, Roll Forming, Wrapping and Interlock Armoring machines, Planetary and Rigid-frame Cablers, complemented Bartell’s existing wire industry products enabling us to meet the growing needs of our customers.
