About Our Metal Spools

Quality & Experience

Ace Metal Works has been manufacturing metal spools since the 1960s—our first customer was John A. Roebling & Sons Company. Today, we remain one of the most experienced spool manufacturers in North America.

We produce spools for:

  • Ferrous and nonferrous wire
  • Fiber-optic and aluminum wire
  • Carbon, low carbon, and stainless steel

All of our spools are:

  • Made from prime cold-rolled steel
  • Precision stamped, welded, and pretested
  • Built to be annealed on and reused—far more durable than masonite, tinplate, or plastic alternatives

Engineering & Quality

We engineer our spools for strength, durability, and repeat use, meeting the highest industry standards, especially for demanding applications like steel and tire cord.

What we offer:

  • B40, B60, B80 series tire cord spools
  • Custom sizes, colors, and bracing for added support
  • Stackable designs for efficient, cost-effective shipping
  • Standard sizes always in stock for fast delivery
