The West Coast company is the first cordage manufacturer worldwide to use the stronger, lighter weight Kevlar® fiber in its products.
One of a select few rope manufacturers to meet the stringent ISO 9001:2008 certification requirements, Pelican Rope Works will make this next generation of advanced fiber technology cordage available to the military, law enforcement, fire and rescue professionals, and industrial safety and consumer markets worldwide.
“We at Pelican Rope Works believe in partnering with our customers and suppliers in a collaborative effort to remain on the cutting edge of technology and product performance,” said the company’s president, Terry Walker. “Our new line of Kevlar® AP rope products is the latest step in our continuing commitment to produce the highest performance products available in the market today.”
