BREMEN — Southwire, a wire and cable manufacturer, plans to expand its operations here, creating up to 105 new jobs by 2016.

The Georgia-based company, which purchased Illinois-based Coleman Cable in February, will invest $2.1 million to purchase and equip a new 48,000 square-foot facility in Bremen.

The facility, which will be fully staffed by the end of 2015, will allow the company to relocate manufacturing capacity for its original equipment manufacturer and industrial divisions to Bremen.

Southwire, which currently employs 310 full-time Indiana associates, is now hiring for additional production, maintenance and distribution positions. Interested applicants may apply by visiting www.applytosouthwire.com.

“Southwire’s acquisition of Coleman Cable, including the Bremen operations, provided a key step in our strategy to grow into new, diverse markets,” said Stu Thorn, president and chief executive officer of Southwire.
