With over 150 years of combined experience and a team of 30 dedicated employees, R&W Rope is a testament to craftsmanship, innovation, and unparalleled customer service.

Our Story

Our Roots:
A Journey in Ropes

In 1985, Rod McCollester embarked on a journey that would weave the threads of passion, expertise, and dedication into the very fabric of the rope industry.

With nothing but a hand-me-down car and an unbreakable spirit, Rod laid the foundation of a family-owned rope distribution company. Fast forward to today, and that seed has blossomed into a flourishing tree with branches spreading far and wide.

Our company, nurtured by the hands of a family and strengthened by a team of 30 enthusiastic employees, boasts over 150 years of combined experience in rope, splicing, rigging, and unparalleled customer service.

We have evolved from carrying a humble assortment in the trunk of a car to offering over 14,000 SKUs of rope and hardware. Our expertise doesn't stop there; we also provide full-service rigging and splicing, alongside innovative rope interior and exterior design solutions.

Each project, big or small, is a new adventure for us. We pride ourselves on connecting with every customer, ensuring they receive exactly what they need to bring their visions to life.

Our journey has taken us to extraordinary places, even to the sets of Hollywood blockbusters like "The Pirates of the Caribbean," "Master and Commander," and "The Zoo Keeper."

As we look to the horizon, our mission remains the same: to weave our expertise, passion, and dedication into every product and service, encouraging our customers to embark on their own unique adventures.
