Marlow Ropes has partnered with SailGP supplying lines for the event
Marlow Ropes expanded into new offices and factory space at its UK HQ in 2020, a move that has enabled the company to enhance its rope-making capabilities and increase capacity in key areas such as splicing and twisting yarn.
“With investment in its technical lab area which includes a new 100 tonnes tensile testing machine, amongst other testing equipment, it will allow an even greater commitment to R&D and innovation,” explained marketing manager Emma Donovan.
“With over 200 years of experience and knowledge in the rope-making industry, Marlow‘s technical ability is hard to rival.”
Over the last two years Marlow Ropes has focused on sourcing sustainable and bio-based materials, reducing waste and lowering its carbon footprint.
This has led to a partnership with SailGP, suppling the event with lines from its new eco-conscious ranges, including the bio-based Dyneema fibre for use onboard the high-speed F50 foiling catamarans and Blue Ocean dock lines made from 100% recycled waste from plastic bottles to aid docking logistics.
The company is hoping to schedule a series of open day events once Covid restrictions allow, to show products, technical abilities, educational resources and production capabilities.
