A novel apparatus for producing a stranded cable which is simplified in construction, easy to assemble and high in efficiency. The apparatus comprises a rotatable member having an annular groove formed in an outer periphery thereof, a plurality of dies disposed on a single circumferential line on an axial end face of the rotatable member, and an annular shoe having an outer periphery for engaging in the annular groove of the rotatable member. The annular shoe is supported for rotation in an eccentric relationship to the rotatable member such that the outer periphery of the annular shoe is partially engaged in the annular groove of the rotatable member to define therebetween a wire stock passageway having a varying sectional area. Wire stock is supplied into the wire stock passageway at a portion having a relatively greater sectional area and is then successively extruded from the dies on the rotatable member at or near another portion of the wire stock passageway having a minimum sectional area to form wires, and the wires thus formed are subsequently stranded into a stranded cable.
