 Pelican
Wire Co. was founded in 1969 at Wonderlake, Ill by Larry and
Theresa Bill. The vision was to build a wire insulating and
sales business and move it to Naples, Florida, The Company was
formed into a Delaware Corporation in 1970. There followed a
year or two of Garage operations before plans were completed
for a metal pole building in Hebron, Ill. In 1975 Larry and
Theresa Bill moved the business to a newly completed 2400 square
foot steel building in Naples, Florida. This was the start of
a gradually expanding business that led to a build out of 10,000
sq. ft by 1995. The business continued to expand into 15000
sq. feet of manufacturing area with Offices in a separate building.
We have grown by leaps and bounds since then- in 2004, we moved
to White Lake Corporate Park - a 33,000 Sq ft building next to
a beautiful lake in the industrial park.Here we have room to
expand and grow into the future. Pelican Wire continues to grow
it’s resistance and heater wire business.
Pelican Wire Co., Inc. is a custom insulator of wire. We specialize
in 50 to 2 gauge diameter wire alloys.
These alloys have the properties which allow them to be used
as electric (resistance) heaters, heater hook-up and extension
wire, or temperature sensors (thermocouple). Our insulation
materials include thermoplastics, glass, enamels, mica, TFE
TEFLON® fluoropolymer and KAPTON®. The bare wire which we insulate
can be a single or stranded conductor.
After insulating each wire bundle, we can bunch the insulated
wire into cables up to 1/2 in. diameter; then wrap this with
an outer jacket, which can be extruded or braided.
Our bare-wire insulation methods include:
- extruding thermoplastic materials
- spiral tape with TEFLON® fluoropolymer or mica
- cure highly resistive enamel coatings
- spin wrap or serve glass yarn
- and braid metal or glass-yarn overjackets
Often we apply different 'wraps' of these insulators on wire
in order to give special properties, such as elevated (450°C/842°F)
temperature use; chemical resistance; moisture resistance; tensile
strength; abrasion resistance; or slickness.
Our customers include end users, OEM's and distributors.
On occasion, we design wire and insulation combinations for
specific applications where the inquiry is vague and only the
end-use is revealed by the customer. Many of our specialty wire/
insulation combinations have resulted in innovative standard
products for both our customers and our self.
