Powering the World from Paterson, New Jersey: The Okonite Company. Founded in 1878, the Okonite Company opened its plant in Paterson, New Jersey in 1924. For the last one hundred years, the Paterson plant, located at 959 Market Street, has been producing insulated electrical cable for applications all over the world. Okonite cables transmit power underground up to 345,000 volts for our nation’s utilities. They even connect Liberty Island to light the Statue of Liberty’s torch.
