Preformed Line Products
Two years after the end of World War
II, the United States experienced ex-
plosive growth as consumers sought
to meet demand for goods and
services. Part of that growth resulted
in millions of miles of new power
lines installed across the country.
During this time, Tom Peterson, an
engineer, was working on a new concept
for the industry. His idea was to preform
aluminum rods into a helix with an inside
diameter smaller than the outside diameter
of the conductor they are applied on. As
such, helically preformed rods, when applied
over the conductor, could provide a secure
fit without end clamps to “armor” and protect
the conductor from abrasion and fatigue.
The PREFORMED Armor Rod was born and
with it, Preformed Line Products Company
(PLP).
New product development quickly fol-
lowed, including factory-formed ties, cable
terminations, armoring layers, and suspen-
sion/support.
PLP became recognized for setting new
standards in the power and communications
industries and is currently the only supplier
offering the industry a full line of formed
wire helical products.
