From simple plaited rope to high-quality wire ropes and mooring ropes.
Founded 1934
Drahtseilwerk GmbH grew out of a plaited rope factory and since 1934 has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of VOM HOFE from Altena. It started with the production of tow ropes and mooring ropes for shipping and trawl lines for fishing vessels.
Ongoing development until 2000
Over the years, new markets have been exploited and the product range considerably expanded. In the 1960s, the ATLAS rope was developed with Bayer AG and in the 1980s, the production of compact strand ropes was added. In the early 1990s, the product range was supplemented by non-rotation special ropes.
Today
Exports account for more than 60 of production and we supply wire ropes to markets all over the world. The wire rope factory employs 75 staff and generates turnover of approx. 18 million euros.
