North American wire and cable company Southwire has made a strategic investment in Ndustrial.Io, an AI-powered energy intensity platform for industry.  Ndustrial is the largest deployment of energy management and digitisation solutions in food logistics and cold chain, processing 100 million data points daily.

In the last twelve months, Ndustrial has deployed its technology in 122 facilities across 17 countries. The company integrates with over 60 different industrial data systems, providing analytics and decision support to reduce energy consumption and emissions.

As a part of its investment, Southwire plans to deploy Ndustrial’s technology at several of its own manufacturing facilities to support its Growing Green initiative to optimise production and reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, Southwire will serve as a wire and cable solutions supplier to Ndustrial’s electric transport refrigeration units (eTRU) power infrastructure customers, which is electrifying diesel-fuelled chillers to lower operational costs by as much as 33% and reduce emissions by as much as 70%. 

“Our investment in Ndustrial reflects our commitment to advancing solutions that drive both operational efficiency and sustainability,” said Se Oh, Southwire’s vice president, Operational Sustainability. “Their energy management platform empowers industrial facilities to optimise production processes, significantly reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions. We are excited to support Ndustrial as they unlock new opportunities for businesses to enhance performance while contributing to a more sustainable future.”

“Industrial leaders understand that energy intelligence is a strategic imperative, and that has driven exceptional growth for our platform in the past year,” said Jason Massey, CEO of Ndustrial. “We’re seeing first-hand how data-driven energy management is transforming industrial operations, enabling companies to turn their sustainability commitments into strong financial results. Southwire’s investment and partnership will accelerate our journey with deep industry expertise as we continue to scale worldwide.”
