Incorporated in December 1985, Bansal Wire Industries Limited has established itself as a significant player in the steel wire industry. The company operates in three main segments: high carbon steel wire, low carbon steel wire (mild steel wire), and stainless steel wire. With over 3,000 different types of steel wire products, ranging from very thin to very thick, Bansal Wire caters to a diverse customer base of more than 5,000 clients across various industries. This diversification helps mitigate risk by avoiding reliance on a single customer or customer type.

The company has 14 global representatives covering countries such as Bangladesh, Brazil, France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Netherlands, South Korea, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Vietnam.

Bansal Wire aims to use the net proceeds from the IPO for several strategic purposes: repaying or prepaying certain outstanding borrowings, funding working capital requirements, and for general corporate purposes. The allotment of shares is expected to be finalized on July 8, 2024, with the listing anticipated on July 10, 2024, on both BSE and NSE.
