Ownership History
Newark Wire Works was founded by Oscar Froelich in 1910. Shortly after the establishment of the company, he partnered with his son, Oscar Jr., and his son-in-law, Walter.
Together, they acquired a small building with approximately 2000 sq. ft., located on South 14th Street in Newark, New Jersey. This successful partnership lasted for more than 50 years.
Growing as a Company
In 1960, George Klacik, the owner of Eagle Wire and Brass purchased Newark Wire Works. He then merged the two companies, which paved the way for a brighter future for the business. Some of Mr. Klacik’s contributions to the company include:
- Purchasing and consolidating Industrial Wire Works and Acme Wire Works
- Expanding the existing building to a 13,000 sq. ft. facility
- Successfully running the company for over 20 years
Serving Through Generations
Joseph L. Spellman purchased Newark Wire Works Inc. in 1982. After five years, his son, Joseph P. Spellman, took over the business.
As the business grew, the need for a larger company became more apparent. As a result, Joseph and his wife and co-owner, JoAnn Spellman, relocated the company to a larger facility in Edison, New Jersey, in 1999.
In 2009, the third generation of the Spellman family joined the company. Michael Spellman became the Vice President of Sales, while Chris Spellman became the Plant Manager.
Where We Are Today
Together, the Spellman family takes pride in their top-of-the-line customer service and quality products. This launched Newark Wire Works Inc. to be one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of a wide range of wire mesh partition products.
