History
One hundred fifty years ago, W.S. Tyler entered the woven wire industry, supplying wire mesh used as flame arrestors for lanterns used in coal mines. Now responsible for weaving woven wire into countless industries and applications, W.S. Tyler strives to be a trusted voice within the world of woven wire.
Doing so starts with looking beyond being just a woven wire mesh supplier. Instead, we strive to become our customers’ partners at every step of their journey, learning their operations inside and out.
The result? Comprehensive woven wire solutions are designed to make the world cleaner and safer.
