Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-120736)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

                          We refer to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-120736) (the “Registration
Statement”) of International Wire Group, Inc. (the “Company”), relating to the registration of its
common stock.

                          Pursuant to Rule 461 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the
Company hereby requests that the effectiveness of the Registration Statement be accelerated so that
it may become effective at 2 pm (Eastern time) on Tuesday, August 9, 2005, or as soon as
practicable thereafter.

                          The Company hereby acknowledges the following:

    1.

    Should the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission) or the staff of the
Commission, acting pursuant to delegated authority, declare the filing effective, it does
not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

    2.

    The action of the Commission or the staff of the Commission, acting pursuant to
delegated authority, in declaring the filing effective, does not relieve the Company from
its full responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of the disclosure in the filing; and

    3.

    The Company may not assert this action as a defense in any proceeding initiated by
the Commission or any person under the federal securities laws of the United States.

     In addition, the Company hereby confirms that it is aware of its responsibilities under the
Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, with respect to the proposed
public offering of the securities specified in the Registration Statement.

     Please call Michael B. Farnell, Jr. at (214) 746-7787 of Weil, Gotshal & Manges LLP to confirm
the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or with any questions.

    Very truly yours,
