Border States Electric employees have received specialized training from Southwire on its SIMpull products. The employee above, from the BSE Fargo branch, readies parallel wiring for a customer. Parallel wiring is a popular customer request of late.

Southwire’s SIMpull Stack reel has been named the wire and cable Product of the Year by Electrical Construction & Maintenance magazine.

Read more about Southwire’s recognition here. This marks the second straight year that one of Southwire’s SIMpull Solutions products and services has received such an honor from the magazine.

As you can see in the video, SIMpull allows workers to roll wire to the pulling point and spool directly into the conduit, which saves time and money.

The Southwire SIMpull Stack Reel is one of the many wire innovations available through Border States Electric, where our staff receives specialized training from Southwire on its SIMpull products. To learn more about the line, visit the SIMpull page or download the PDF file.
