Indiana-based rigging manufacturer
Tway Lifting Products is celebrating 70
years in the business, but continues to
look for new products and to move
forward within the sector.
Tway’s 24,000ft
2
Indianapolis plant
manufactures lifting equipment using
raw materials from Crosby Group,
Wireco, Loos & Co, Bridon and
Bethlehem Wire Rope. The company
recently
achieved
ISO9001-2008
certification, placing Tway as the
only ISO certified rigging equipment
manufacturer in the region, and in
September 2013 produced its first
2-inch diameter wire rope sling with an
ultimate strength of 370,000 pounds.
“Building a wire rope products plant
in Indiana strengthened our position
with the industrial sector in the midwest
and brings another manufactured
product to the state,” said Peter
Hansen, president and CEO. “There are
few plants in the country capable of
producing lifting gear this heavy, the
same day, and we are excited to be
among the best.”
