Welcome to Carris Reels

For over half a century, Carris Reels has provided its customers with high-quality cable reels and spools providing plywood reels, plastic reels, nailed wood reels and packaging for the wire and cable Industry

Started in 1951 by Henry Carris with just two employees, the fledgling plywood reel company quickly established its reputation by the sheer force of Henry’s Midwestern work ethic and his unwavering conviction that people would prefer to buy superior products.

When Bill Carris took over the business from his father in 1980, he knew that the most important key to the company’s continued success would be to keep customers happy.

Staying Ahead of Competitors in Industrial Reels

Bill Carris grew the business by adding new product lines, including plastic reels. Because of the introduction of plastic reels, Carris soon became a world leader in the production of wire reels for industrial use and retail.

In addition to industrial reels, they presently manufacture a large assortment of standard, fine wire, welding wire and magnet wire reels using molds made to the industries highest standards.

Today the company produces a wide variety of creative packaging for the wire and cable industry.

Bill also proved to be an equally innovative president, and his vision for the company even surpassed his father’s commitment.

"Customers are the reason we are in business," he said, echoing his father's vision. "Our customers’ changing needs and expectations will continue to be the focus of our everyday lives. We must stay in front of our competitors in customer satisfaction, offering creative solutions in a dynamic marketplace.”

As time moved on, Bill's leadership resulted in more than novel ideas. He guided the company into a corporate philosophy that would help conserve natural resources by setting up a network of reel return depots and recycling centers where used reels would be received and graded.

By being able to recycle reels and spools when possible, Carris Reels continues to save customers money and help conserve natural resources.
