UK company joins forces with Bainbridge International to create Marlow Ropes USA

US distributor Bainbridge International and UK performance and technical rope manufacturer Marlow Ropes have announced the formation of Marlow Ropes USA.

The move is designed to strengthen service and distribution in the US market and will see Marlow Ropes establish a permanent base on the east coast, with a dedicated sales function, inventory availability and technical support for the Marlow Grand Prix Series (MGP) program.

“This move follows strong progressive sales growth of Marlow’s range of high performance rope products by Bainbridge into the US market over the past six years,” says Jon Mitchell, managing director of Marlow Ropes UK. “Having a full time technical and sales presence in the US will provide direct manufacturers support to a wide range of customers and markets, both existing and new.”

Bainbridge International CEO Mike Cuscia adds: “Marlow Ropes’ close association with Bainbridge International is enhanced with closer working relationships and greater support. This will enable Bainbridge to continue our sales and marketing efforts to grow Marlow Rope sales in the Marine sector.”

Additionally, as part of the new formation Marlow brand manager Forrest Williams will join Marlow Ropes USA as national sales manager.
