Rope starts with well-twisted yarn. Twisting and cabling is one of our core production stages — 320 Saurer Volkmann spindles running S and Z twist, single and 2-ply, 40–200 TPM.
Add polypropylene's nature — lighter than water, moisture-proof, colour-fast — and you have a yarn made for marine, agricultural and industrial cordage. Produced to your titer, twist and colour, batch after batch.

Density below water — PP ropes and nets stay on the surface, a must in marine and fishing use.
Hydrophobic fibre absorbs no water: no waterlogged weight, no rot, quick drying.
High tensile strength at the lowest fibre weight of any synthetic.
Solution-dyed colours for identification and branding that survive sun and handling.
Polypropylene is the lightest synthetic fibre — light enough to float on water — and it does not absorb moisture, so PP ropes stay light, dry quickly and resist rot and mildew. Combined with good tensile strength, chemical resistance and solution-dyed colour that survives sun and use, it is a natural choice for ropes, twines, cords and nets.
Yes — twisting and cabling is one of our core stages, with 320 spindles of Saurer Volkmann capacity in-house. We produce single and 2-ply yarns with S or Z twist at 40–200 TPM, to your titer and colour, and can stabilise the twist through heat-setting. Send us your specification.
Yes. Polypropylene has a density lower than water, so ropes and nets made from PP yarn float — one of the reasons PP cordage is popular in marine, fishing and agricultural use.
