WireCo announced on March 14, 2023, at the CONEXPO construction trade show in Las Vegas, that it has started producing high-performance crane ropes in the USA for the first time.
The investment
- WireCo invested about $30 million to turn its Sedalia, Missouri, facility into a high-performance crane rope center.
- Its Casar and Oliveira brand ropes had come only from plants in Germany and Portugal. Sedalia uses the same manufacturing and testing protocols.
- The company plans to add more than 40 jobs to support the project.
- Local production means better availability and faster delivery for USA customers, WireCo said.
“We strongly believe our ropes and our brands deserve to be made in America, and our investments back that up.”
