WireCo ropes in
Endenburg assets
Founded in 1855, Endenburg
supplies hoisting and lifting
gear, including steel wire ropes,
shackles and high performance
synthetic ropes.
“The new WireCo Crane
Center…will allow WireCo to
adjust to changing markets
by reducing order to shipment
turnaround time, while also
providing new opportunities
to improve services to our
distributors,” said Blake Chandler,
senior vice president.
“This new facility establishes a
key central stocking location
with good inland transportation
routes near the Rotterdam port,
allowing WireCo to provide
quicker response times to
support both our European and
international distributors.”
The Gouda location will
exclusively service WireCo’s
distribution partners and select
OEMs, focusing on the Casar
and Oliveira crane ropes, while
WireCo’s German fabrication
and distribution center will
continue to operate.
Endenburg’s current maritime,
offshore and heavy lifting
departments will continue from
Lankhorst Ropes, located in
Dordrecht, the Netherlands,
under the Lankhorst Ropes
name.
WireCo WorldGroup Inc (WireCo),
a major producer and marketer
of steel wire and synthetic ropes,
has announced the acquisition
of the majority of the assets
of Endenburg BV (Gouda), a
Netherlands-based company.
As part of the agreement, WireCo
will establish a crane rope
distribution center at the current
Gouda location, to be called the
WireCo Crane Center.
