Our Ownership History
Founding Years
Newark Wire Works was established in 1910 by Oscar Froelich, who partnered with his son, Oscar Jr., and son-in-law, Walter. Their partnership flourished for over 50 years, growing the company from a modest 2,000 sq. ft. facility in Newark, NJ, into a trusted name in the wire mesh industry.
Expansion Under George Klacik
In 1960, George Klacik, owner of Eagle Wire and Brass, purchased Newark Wire Works and merged it with Industrial Wire Works and Acme Wire Works. Under his leadership:
•The company expanded into a 13,000 sq. ft. facility.
•Newark Wire Works solidified its position as an industry leader.
The Spellman Family Legacy
In 1982, Joseph L. Spellman and his son, Joseph P. Spellman, acquired Newark Wire Works, marking the beginning of a new era of growth. Together, they worked to expand the company and enhance its reputation as a leader in wire mesh solutions.
After the passing of Joseph L. Spellman in 1986, Joseph P. Spellman took on the sole role of leading the company forward. His leadership and vision propelled Newark Wire Works to even greater heights, cementing its legacy of quality and innovation.
•By 1999, Joseph P. Spellman and his wife, JoAnn, relocated the company to Edison, NJ, to accommodate its expanding operations.
•In 2009, the third generation joined:
•Michael Spellman leads the company as Vice President of Sales, overseeing client relations, vendor and distributor management, and day-to-day operations.
•Chris Spellman, as Plant Manager, ensures production efficiency and high-quality output.
•Michael and Chris are learning to lead the company into the future, continuing the legacy of excellence established by their father and grandfather.
