Down to the wire

Bridon and Bekaert, Mayfield East. A global manufacturer of wire rope for multiple industrial purposes. 
A noteworthy brick construction with a saw tooth factory attached. 
 Wire making began in 1925 and BHP, OneSteel, MolyCop are roughly a succession of connections in Newcastle before now.
 The present day company of Bridon has links with an institution in Ontario and WRI has HQ in Montreal while Bekaert harks back to Belgium and the UK.
 Lost track of identification of any local owners.

It reminds me of some buildings here.

It definitely looks art deco-ish
