About Us

Co-owners Michael Manning and Frank Colonna founded American Autowire in 1987. Back then, it was a two-man operation working from Michael’s basement in Laurel Springs, NJ. Now, Michael and Frank are still at the helm along with Jim Cardona, but with over 100 employees and 38,000 square feet of space at the American Autowire manufacturing facility in Bellmawr, NJ. Our dedicated team has helped us become the premier automotive electrical manufacturer for OEM/Restoration, Modified Restoration, and Street Rod/Custom vehicles.

What Our Customers Are Saying

slide 1 of 8

“I started calling the different companies to see how good their pre-sales would be. I then looked at the wiring installation instructions to see how understandable they were. American Autowire really stood out from the rest of the pack. When I called American Autowire – Aaron Brownfield answered the phone. What a blessing, to get ahold of Aaron - he took the time to actually look at my project. Aaron recommended the Highway 15 … and it was his EXCELLENT customer service skills and technical acumen that tipped the scales. I know good customer service … because that is what I do for Dell. I often wish that I could call a company and get the same type of service that I give my customers. Thank you very much for your time and making such a good product. Please make sure Aaron gets a GREAT BIG THANK YOU!”
