Why cable sits here 02
The Shreveport industrial base
Caddo Parish's industrial base runs from Calumet's Shreveport specialty refinery and lubricant blending to the Port of Caddo-Bossier, where BENTELER Steel/Tube operates a seamless tube mill and Ternium runs coated-steel coil lines. SLB occupies the former General Motors assembly plant and has announced a further expansion there.
Cable surplus follows the heavy end: medium voltage feeder for mill and refinery substations, tray and machine-tool cable from tube and coil lines, welding lead from steel fabrication, instrument cable from the refinery, and building wire from the plant conversions.
Refining and lubricants
Calumet operates its Shreveport specialty refinery and lubricant blending operations, supplying specialty products rather than bulk fuels.
Steel tube and coil
The Port of Caddo-Bossier hosts BENTELER Steel/Tube's seamless tube mill and Ternium's coated-steel coil lines, both heavy electrical users.
Plant conversions
SLB occupies the former General Motors assembly plant in Shreveport and has announced a $30 million expansion there, converting automotive space to industrial use.

Questions —
Shreveport wire buying questions
Do you buy from Port of Caddo-Bossier tenants?
Yes, with the tenant's release. Port industrial material is usually documented against a project, which makes the review straightforward.
What about cable from the former GM plant?
Plant conversions generate building wire, feeder and control cable in quantity, and it is reviewed as a project lot rather than as scrap.
Is there medium voltage cable in Shreveport?
Yes, from mill and refinery substations and from the port's heavier tenants. It is reviewed with the medium voltage family.
Does North Louisiana get the same review as the Gulf Coast?
Yes. The technical standard is the same; the cable mix leans more to mill and steel work than to petrochemical.
