Custom Cordage

Professional cordage is manufactured using specialized equipment and multi-stage processes. Orion Cordage uses a proprietary four-stage heat-set construction process that heat-stabilizes yarns during production, creating cordage with superior dimensional stability, consistent strength, and enhanced durability. This advanced manufacturing technique eliminates internal splices and produces torque-free, balanced constructions in various methods including 3-strand, double braid, 12-strand, and bonded parallel fibers, depending on the application requirements.

Orion Cordage offers complete customization capabilities including custom lengths, colors, finishes, and put-ups to meet your exact specifications. With thousands of SKUs designed, manufactured, and tested in-house at our own North American factories, we can tailor cordage across various materials (nylon, polyester, polypropylene, HMPE, combination fibers) and construction types (3-strand, double braid, 12-strand, bonded parallel fibers) for your specific application requirements.

For marine and offshore applications, nylon provides exceptional shock absorption for dynamic loads, while polyester offers the lowest stretch with high strength for dimensional stability. Both materials are manufactured by Orion with proprietary marine finish coatings and heat-stabilized construction for enhanced performance. HMPE cordage delivers pound-for-pound strength greater than steel while weighing only 1/8th as much, making it ideal for demanding rigging applications where strength-to-weight ratio is critical.

Orion Cordage offers industry-leading availability with tight lead times and supply chain integration to ensure your custom cordage arrives when you need it. With 165+ years of manufacturing excellence and in-house production at our own North American factories, we provide great prices without compromising on domestic quality. Contact our cordage experts for specific lead time estimates based on your custom specifications.

Orion Cordage is ISO 9001 certified and maintains membership in the Cordage Institute. Our quality control is backed by 165+ years of manufacturing excellence, with thousands of SKUs designed, manufactured, and tested in-house at our own North American factories. This ensures consistent quality and reliability for demanding applications in marine, industrial, power utility, fall protection, and rigging industries.

Polyester cordage offers the lowest stretch of synthetic fibers with high strength for dimensional stability, making it ideal for applications requiring minimal elongation and precise load control. Orion manufactures polyester cordage using torque-free construction with no internal splices, proprietary marine finish coatings, and heat-stabilized yarns. Construction methods include double braid, 12-strand, and bonded parallel fibers, depending on the specific load control requirements of your application.

Yes, Orion Cordage can manufacture custom cordage in continuous lengths up to 100,000 feet for large-scale projects. Our in-house manufacturing capabilities at North American factories allow us to produce extended lengths with sequential footage markings, custom finishes, and application-specific properties. This is particularly valuable for power utility cable pulling, industrial installations, and other applications requiring uninterrupted cordage runs without splices or connections.
