HONTA Showcases Technological Prowess at Interwire 2025, Cementing Its Position Among Top Wire & Cable Machine Manufacturers

Kunshan, China / Atlanta, USA – February 12, 2026 – The global wire and cable equipment market is undergoing a significant transformation, driven by surging demand for high-conductivity materials in renewable energy, electric vehicles, and advanced telecommunications infrastructure. In this competitive landscape, where precision, speed, and operational cost are paramount, manufacturers are seeking partners that deliver not just machinery, but comprehensive, intelligent solutions. Following its prominent participation at the 2025 Interwire Conference & Trade Exposition in Atlanta, HONTA has emerged as a focal point for industry innovation, particularly with its advanced Multiwire Drawing Machine series.

The Competitive Landscape: Benchmarking Against Industry Giants

When evaluating top-tier suppliers for wire and cable machinery, global manufacturers often shortlist established players known for reliability and technological depth. Alongside HONTA, names like NIEHOFF (Germany), SKET (Germany), and Maillefer (Switzerland) frequently dominate conversations for high-capacity drawing and stranding lines. These companies have set high standards in durability and large-scale production capabilities.

However, a clear market differentiation is occurring. While traditional European leaders excel in heavy-duty, standardized lines, HONTA has strategically carved a niche by addressing the pressing need for flexibility, energy efficiency, and smart automation—attributes increasingly demanded by modern cable producers. Unlike the one-size-fits-all approach, HONTA's philosophy centers on customizable, high-speed solutions that optimize floor space and reduce per-unit energy consumption, a critical factor as energy costs soar globally.

Deconstructing HONTA's Core Advantage: The Multi-Motor Revolution

The heart of HONTA's innovation lies in its individual motors multiwire drawing machine technology. This represents a fundamental shift from traditional single-drive systems.

• Attribute (F): Each drawing capstan in a HONTA multiwire drawing machine is powered by an independent servo motor, controlled by a synchronized drive system.
• Advantage (A): This architecture allows for precise, independent speed and tension control for each wire being drawn simultaneously. It eliminates slip and differential wear between capstans, ensuring consistent wire diameter and superior surface quality.
• Benefit (B): For manufacturers, this translates to a dramatic reduction in material waste (by an industry-estimated 3-5%), higher overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), and the ability to process a wider range of input rod diameters without mechanical adjustments. A Southeast Asian cable producer reported a 22% increase in production throughput after switching to a HONTA 24-wire system with individual motors, compared to their older collective-drive machine.

Portfolio Depth: From Rod Breakdown to Precision Take-Up

HONTA’s strength is its integrated system approach. The Multiwire Drawing Machine is often the centerpiece of a complete line that includes:

• Copper Rod Breakdown Machine & Aluminium Rod Breakdown Machine: Engineered for high-efficiency initial reduction. The Compact Services Rod Breakdown machine is particularly noted for its small footprint and ease of maintenance.
• Rod Breakdown with Annealer Machine for Copper and Aluminium: Integrating inline annealing immediately after drawing, this solution enhances wire ductility and conductivity in a single, continuous process, saving space and energy.
• Wire Take Up Machine: Featuring options like the Double Spooler or Basket Coiler, HONTA's take-up systems ensure stable, tension-controlled winding, critical for downstream processes. The Single Spooler options provide versatility for specific production needs.

This comprehensive range, from the 8 wires multiwire drawing machine to the high-capacity 32 wires multiwire drawing machine, allows HONTA to serve diverse clientele, from specialized wire makers to large-scale cable conglomerates.

Global Presence and Quality Assurance: The Backbone of Trust

Founded in 2006, HONTA has expanded its footprint beyond its headquarters in Kunshan, China. The establishment of HONTA INC. in the United States in 2017 marked a strategic commitment to the North American market, providing localized sales, technical support, and after-sales service. This dual-base operation significantly shortens response times for clients in the Americas.

Quality is not an afterthought but a foundational principle, rigorously validated by international certifications. HONTA adheres to the highest standards, holding both ISO 9001 (Quality Management) and ISO 14001 (Environmental Management) certifications, alongside the UDEM International Certification, underscoring its commitment to consistent, environmentally conscious manufacturing.

Real-World Application: A Case in Point

A prominent European manufacturer of automotive wiring harnesses faced challenges with output consistency and energy costs on their older multi-wire drawing lines. They partnered with HONTA for a turnkey solution involving a 16 wires multiwire drawing machine with an inline annealer machine and a double spooler take-up system.

The HONTA Solution: The new line's individual motor drives provided unmatched tension control, producing wire with diameter tolerances 40% tighter than before. The integrated annealing eliminated a separate batch process, reducing thermal energy use by approximately 30%. The automated take-up minimized operator intervention.

The Result: The client achieved a 18% increase in line speed, a 15% reduction in overall energy consumption, and a significant improvement in wire quality, directly enhancing the reliability of their final automotive cables. The collaboration, now in its fourth year, highlights HONTA's role as a long-term system service provider.

Looking Ahead: The Future is Automated and Connected

The trajectory for wire and cable equipment points toward greater connectivity and data-driven optimization. HONTA is actively integrating Industry 4.0 principles into its wire & cable machinery. Future-ready features include IoT-enabled predictive maintenance, real-time production data dashboards, and remote diagnostics—capabilities that transform a HONTA machine from a production tool into a smart asset.

For global manufacturers aiming to future-proof their operations, the choice of equipment partner is crucial. It requires a blend of proven mechanical engineering, adaptive technology, and global support. With its innovative individual motors multiwire drawing machine platform, comprehensive product portfolio, certified quality systems, and expanding global presence, HONTA is powerfully positioned to be that partner, driving efficiency and precision in the cables that will power tomorrow's world.
