Live Wire Products

       Live Wire Products, Inc began thirty-three years ago, in 1976. LWP was the first distributor of New Zealand style fencing in the United States. The original facility, a small hay barn, did not allow the business to grow as fast as the demand, so expansion soon became necessary. Owners Jack and Nancy Henderson struggled to find a new location to grow their fencing business to serve the need in the western United States. Marysville, California soon emerged as an affordable town to begin the growing phase of Live Wire and was selected for the new site. Just around the corner from the landmark city pond and fishing hole, Ellis Lake, a warehouse and office building were secured.
       The new concept of low impedance electric fence controllers and high tensile smooth wire fencing offered a low cost method to contain livestock and manage pastures. For the U.S. market it became a defense from predators, especially while depredation dollars ran short. The new low impedance technology made it possible to send the voltage effectively to the end of the fence. Over the years and many miles later the basics remain the same and the folks at Live Wire have helped contained every livestock species possibly imaginable.
