From a wartime canvas supplier to a premier aerospace wire distributor — our story spans generations.
Founder Blake Weiner and his brother establish a manufacturing business in Los Angeles, supplying canvas products to the U.S. defense industry during World War II.
Following the war, Blake successfully transitions into the distribution and manufacturing of electronic wire and cable, positioning the business to benefit from the rapid growth of the aerospace sector in Southern California.
Blake secures a distribution relationship with General Electric wire and cable products and establishes operations in Culver City, California. Strong demand during the development of the Atlas missile program enables expansion into manufacturing.
The Company experiences substantial growth, providing custom cable assemblies to the biggest names in aerospace and defense. Becomes a prime distributor for ITT Surprenant.
Following Blake Weiner's passing, Robert and Victor Weiner assume leadership and successfully scale the business through a period of rapid growth, expanding operations geographically and entering the undersea cable manufacturing market.
The Company strategically divests its manufacturing division to focus exclusively on distribution — a higher-margin, lower-capital-intensive business model — allowing management to concentrate on strengthening supplier partnerships and deepening customer relationships.
The Company relocates to its current headquarters at 16134 Runnymede Street, Van Nuys, California — establishing a permanent base in the heart of Southern California's aerospace corridor.
Certified to AS9100D and ISO 9001:2015, Blake Wire serves the next generation of aerospace and defense innovators in Southern California — from commercial space habitat manufacturers to satellite constellation builders and UAV specialists.
In aerospace and defense, procurement isn't just a matter of price and availability — it's governed by a strict "Zero Trust" policy that mandates authorized sources.
Defense giants like Northrop Grumman and Honeywell cannot source materials from unverified vendors. They are mandated to purchase through authorized distributors — a designation Blake Wire is proud to hold.
As an authorized distributor, we receive products directly from manufacturers or strictly vetted channels, providing full manufacturer's certification and Certificate of Conformance (CoC) with every order.
Our certifications ensure full traceability on all products — a legal and safety requirement for mission-critical defense systems. In aerospace, there is zero margin for error.
