Lefs set the record straight...

Word is being spread by some U.S. manufacturers who are producing rope elsewhere, that ALL manila rope is being manufactured outside the United States. THIS IS

NOT TRUE!

Some companies are making the bulk of their manila rope, as well as some synthetics, in other countries . . .

BUT NOT AMERICAN.

Look for this label

Brand Rope you purchase from us is made in the U.S.A.

BEST

BUY AMERICAN . . . made by AMERICANS for AMERICANS!
