History 
Back in 1899, several companies involved in wire manufacturing merged with Washburn and Moen Manufacturing Company from Massachusetts giving birth to the American Steel &Wire Company.

The American steel and Wire Company dominated the production of industrial wire and insulation cable. When the United States Steel Corporation adopted electricity I its coal mines, the American Steel and Wire Company developed the needed cables. Doing business under the name Tiger Brand, the company specialized in developing mining cables. After several name changes and the relocation of the cable manufacturing section USS, the company finally adopted the name Amercable Incorporated. From then on, the company focused on expanding its product line. In 2012 after acquisition of the company by Nexans, its name was changed to NexansAmercable.
