WHX Corp. announced that its wholly owned Handy & Harman subsidiary has decided to exit certain of its stainless steel wire activities. Affected operations include Handy & Harman’s facilities in Liversedge (UK) and Willingboro, NJ, USA.

Capital improvements in machinery and equipment as well as infrastructure improvements are in process to expand and enhance the capabilities of Handy & Harman’s Cockeysville, Maryland, facility. Fine wire customers currently being supplied by the Willingboro facility will be serviced by the Cockeysville facility in the near future.
