Summary
Essex Solutions, formerly Essex Furukawa, is a magnet wire and winding wire producer with a Fort Wayne, Indiana address (1601 Wall St) in a NEMA manufacturer listing, which describes it as a leading global provider used by major OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in automotive, energy, industrial and commercial markets. A 2019 company announcement describes its MagForceX Innovation Center in Fort Wayne developing a high-temperature insulation system for traction-motor windings. The OpenTree map pins Fort Wayne, Franklin (Indiana) and Franklin (Tennessee). This entry is a stub: the company website was not reviewed, and a third-party database associates the entity with older Essex history in Atlanta, so current ownership and plant details need confirmation.
