Why cable sits here 02
The Alexandria industrial base
Procter & Gamble's Pineville plant makes Tide and Gain liquid detergent and pods, UTLX Manufacturing builds railroad tank cars on Highway 1 North in Alexandria, and Pineville-based Crest Industries includes DIS-TRAN Packaged Substations and DIS-TRAN Steel.
That variety matters for cable. A detergent plant brings process instrumentation and washdown-rated cable; a tank car line brings welding lead and machine cable; a packaged substation builder brings medium voltage cable, control cable and grounding conductor in small, specified quantities.
Consumer products
Procter & Gamble's Pineville plant produces Tide and Gain liquid detergent and pods, with more than 500 P&G employees and hundreds of contract workers.
Railcar manufacturing
UTLX Manufacturing builds railroad tank cars at its Alexandria plant on Highway 1 North.

Questions —
Alexandria wire buying questions
Do you buy cable from packaged substation builders?
Yes, as specified material: medium voltage cable, control cable and grounding conductor, reviewed on the print and the project record.
What about tank car manufacturing?
Railcar lines use welding lead and machine cable heavily, and that material is read on jacket condition and measured length.
Is there process plant cable in Alexandria?
Yes, from the Pineville detergent plant and from water and institutional facilities, though the volumes are smaller than on the coast.
Does the port help with freight?
It gives barge options, but cable lots normally leave by road on a flatbed.
