Acme Wire Products Provides Fully Customized Wire Baskets
Custom Wire Basket Manufacturing
When it comes to selecting the right custom wire basket manufacturer, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why Acme Wire Products takes a fully collaborative, customization-first approach to designing and manufacturing high-quality wire baskets that fully meet our customers’ needs.
We will define exactly how our process works, who’s involved, what you can expect when you partner with our team, and how we ensure every product meets strict performance and quality expectations.
Customization Starts with Collaboration
At Acme Wire Products, every wire product we make is customized. Customers typically reach out to us with anything from a sample part or rough concept to a fully dimensioned drawing. From there, our experienced team works closely with them to refine the design.
This collaborative process ensures that every custom wire basket is engineered to meet:
- Specific part dimensions
- Weight requirements
- Preferred part orientation
- Handling and workflow needs
- Environmental conditions
The more complete information a customer can provide our team upfront, such as part drawings, weights, and usage environments, the more precise and efficient the development process becomes.
What’s the Wire Basket Manufacturing Process?
Acme Wire Products’ custom wire basket manufacturing process follows a structured, proven approach:
1. Initial Design & Consultation
Customers provide a design or concept. Our team of talented design engineers can assist in refining or developing the design to ensure manufacturability and performance. We don’t move forward with manufacturing unless you approve the design.
We specialize in manufacturing small to medium sized custom wire baskets that meet OSHA requirements.
2. Custom Tooling Development
Each wire basket project requires custom tooling, built specifically for that customer’s product. This tooling is proprietary and used exclusively for their parts. Once the tooling is complete, our team provides customers with samples for their final approval before moving to full production.
3. Full Production Manufacturing
Once approved, we move into full-scale manufacturing using our cutting edge in-house equipment. All manufacturing work is done by our fully trained team at our facility in Mystic, CT to ensure quality and tight tolerances. We can produce both small and large product runs to meet your needs.
Every project is handled by our skilled team with decades of experience in metal fabrication, welding, and custom wire forming. With more than 50 years in the industry, we have built a reputation for precision, reliability, and flexibility.
What Features & Options Are Available for Custom Wire Baskets?
At Acme Wire Products, we design and manufacture custom wire baskets with durability in mind.

We also offer secondary finishing services to offer further protection for wire products including:

How long does the custom wire basket manufacturing process take?
Lead times can vary depending on:
- Design complexity
- Tooling requirements
- Order volume
Since each custom wire basket requires dedicated tooling and customer approval, the process is more involved than ordering off-the-shelf products. However, Acme Wire Products will work with you to meet your project timeline requirements to reduce downtime.
What size wire baskets can Acme Wire Products manufacture?
While we support a wide range of sizes, our specialization is small to mid-sized baskets, typically no larger than 24″ x 18″. Our focus is on designing and manufacturing wire baskets that can be lifted by one person, when filled with product, according to OSHA restrictions. This focus allows our team to maintain efficiency and quality within our manufacturing process.
