Founded in 1997 by Steve Payne, ADC began manufacturing coaxial cable during the booming digital cable market. Over nearly three decades, ADC has expanded far beyond its origins to become an industry-leading manufacturer producing a wide range of wire and cable products. Today, ADC’s cables are trusted across many critical industries including renewable energy, data centers, manufacturing facilities, power generation, and commercial and residential construction.

To build on ADC’s solid foundation and accelerate its next phase of growth, Kinderhook has appointed Kurt Breischaft as Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Breischaft most recently served as President of SDI La Farga Copperworks and brings extensive wire and cable manufacturing experience, having held various roles with Belden, Superior Essex, and Cerro Wire.

To ensure ADC’s legacy continues and its growth accelerates, investment was needed,” said Steve Payne, Founder of ADC. “Kinderhook’s proven history of helping companies scale makes them the right partner for our future. Backed by our dedicated management team, long-term employees, and new leadership, ADC will continue to provide the service our partners rely on and the strength they deserve.”

Kinderhook’s track record of building and growing businesses brings exciting opportunities for ADC, its employees, suppliers and its partners. With this investment, ADC will expand its capabilities, invest in its people, and strengthen its ability to serve customers with speed, reliability, and quality.

While the partnership opens doors to new growth, ADC emphasized that its core values will not change. The company remains dedicated to:

• Quality products that customers trust
• Innovation that drives our growth
• Responsive service that sets us apart
• Commitment to partnerships that create long-term value

These principles have defined ADC since its founding and will continue to guide its future. “We are excited about this new chapter,” said Kurt Breischaft, new CEO of ADC. “The reputation ADC has earned over the past 27 years is the cornerstone of our business. With Kinderhook’s backing, we will build on those values to drive innovation, strengthen partnerships, and invest in the future of our people and operations.”
