And, we have over 80 years experience in wire and weaving.

And, to make sure you get what you want in form and finish, we offer the broadest possible range of processing operations.

Expert in Every Step From the Wire to the Weaves

Finish first with the leader
GDW/Keystone offers you the broadest range of processing capabilities, so you get industrial wire and wire cloth that are ready for use in your product. We can draw, vacuum anneal, sinter, epoxy powder coat, Teflon coat, paint, slit as narrow as 1/2-inch, stamp, punch, form and calender. This wide selection of options can increase the efficiency of your own manufacturing process and improve your end product's performance.
Finally, we can package our items to your requirements for ease and convenience in shipping and handling. For industrial wire cloth made the way you need it, GDW/Keystone is the producer that produces results.

The capability for answers that work - and that work better
GDW/Keystone specializes in providing you with solutions and alternatives in wire cloth for many applications. For long runs or short runs, our 200-loom capacity gives us the flexibility to create the industrial wire cloth you need: weaving light- to medium-grade wire (from .0045 to .032-inch diameters), in meshes from 4 to 100 wires per linear inch, in metals including carbon steel and many other alloys. We have extensive experience in stainless steel, and we can even work with exotic metals such as Monel and Inconel.
Profit from our knowledge of a wide range of unusual weave applications.This weaving expertise, combined with our ability to help you design or redesign your product, can give you extra cost-effectiveness.

Foremost in filters
GDW/Keystone is not just the largest industrial wire cloth producer, we are also the largest producer of filtration-grade wire cloth. In addition, we are the leader in developing and manufacturing epoxy-coated and electro-galvanized wire cloth for liquid and air filtration.
Epoxy-coated wire cloth gives filters better resistance to corrosion. The epoxy powder coating bonds tightly for added strength and reduces fraying, and it permits bending and forming without losing its integrity.This allows you to increase the number of pleats per pack and uniformity.The result is a filter that works better and lasts longer. Plus, epoxy coating offers you a cost-effective alternative to brass, copper, stainless steel and many monofilament synthetics.

High-quality filters
High-performance filtration products that can incorporate GDW/ Keystone wire cloth include:

• Hydraulic filters
• Oil filters
• Air filters

Numerous non-filter applications
Our ability to meet the stringent wire cloth requirements of high-performance filter-makers also applies to an array of other end products, such as:

Put Our Advantage Into Your End Products

A winner, down to the wire
Since we draw the carbon steel wire that goes into our weaves, we can also provide you with the same quality in wire alone - and we specialize in the best low-carbon, hard-drawn or annealed steel fine wire. Typical finished products include:

• Bag tie "twisties"
• Floral wire
• Welded mesh
• Pipe cleaners
