Sterling

Founded in 1992, Sterling Rope Company has established itself as a leader in designing, developing and manufacturing high-performance ropes and life-safety products. Based in the heart of Maine, our products are the choice of professionals and enthusiasts in rock climbing, arboriculture, rescue, rope access, and other demanding industries around the world. At Sterling, we are committed to elevating safety and enhancing performance through innovation and superior craftsmanship.

We were the first to offer a 48-carrier static sheath construction for greater durability and better handling. We came out with the first 100% Polyester static rope called the HTP, and were the first to offer 100% Technora heat and abrasion resistant ropes to the fire industry; helping FDNY create the first escape kit. Even our accessory cords were constructed differently; utilizing our innovative sewn tacks and eyes. Our ropes and cords are seen on the most technical rescues, in the tallest trees, on remote missions as well as hazardous job sites and are there to get people home safely, day after day.

Sterling is an ISO 9001 Company

As part of our commitment and dedication to safety, all of our quality control systems are third party audited to the standards we identify. Sterling maintains a rigorous in-house testing program to ensure that all current production meets the standards we publish. As an ISO 9001 Company, Sterling is proud to offer products that are 3rd party tested and meet CE, NFPA, and/or ANSI Standards on life safety equipment.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Sterling Rope is deeply committed to sustainability. We implement eco-friendly manufacturing processes, utilize recycled materials and recyclable packaging where we can, and continuously work towards reducing waste and energy consumption across our operations. Our rope manufacturing plant runs on 100% renewable energy, and we’ve been recycling rope since day one.

Proudly made in the USA.
