Bedford Industries, Inc. is a family-owned manufacturing company founded in Worthington, MN in 1966. It is the leading twist tie manufacturer in the United States and throughout the world. Our first products were plastic-coated wire twist ties used as closures for bread bags and trash bags. Over the past 35 years, we have expanded into all types of coated wire closures, identification ties and tags, specialized industrial and bundling ties, packaging reclosures, and related machinery. Bedford also distributes a wide variety of closures to meet all your packaging needs. Our commitment to servicing our customers with timely deliveries is enhanced by our trucking division, Bedford Transportation, which was founded in 1988.
