In Orangeville’s industrial corridor, Data Cable has been powering innovation since 1978. The company specializes in custom cable and wire harness assemblies that find their way into medical devices, military technology, and advanced equipment across North America.
What sets Data Cable apart is its uncompromising focus on quality. Unlike many competitors, the team performs 100% testing on every product before it leaves the facility. Their engineering staff also review client drawings, often catching errors before they become costly mistakes. “Our customers don’t have to stress when they work with us,” says CEO Chelliah Purushothaman. “They know we’re on top of it.”
The company employs 65–85 people locally, more than half in production. Many associates have decades of service, building a wealth of knowledge that benefits both customers and colleagues. With over 50% of its workforce living in Dufferin County, the economic ripple effect is significant—from wages spent in the community to partnerships with local suppliers and charities, including hospital support.
While tariffs and global supply chain challenges have created headwinds for some of their customers, Data Cable remains committed to growing its Dufferin footprint. A key goal is to work more directly with local businesses, helping the region’s manufacturers shorten their supply chains while keeping dollars in the county.
Data Cable is proof that world-class manufacturing doesn’t just happen overseas—it’s built, tested, and trusted right here in Dufferin.
