In the late 1940's, the leading rope manufacturer in the U.S., the PLYMOUTH CORDGE COMPANY, (est. 1824), of Plymouth, Massachusetts, purchased a small paper carpet backing manufacturer and relocated it from Petersburg, Virginia to Newport News. The newly acquired company was named PLYMKRAFT.
By the mid 1960’s, New York-based COLUMBIAN ROPE COMPANY purchased PLYMOUTH CORDGE COMPANY and merged its own paper converting department with the PLYMKRAFT DIVISION which quickly become the country’s leading producer of natural and synthetic cable fillers as well as other specialty paper products.
Today the product offering continues to grow.
In 2000 the Columbian Specialty Products Division was established at the PLYMKRAFT plant furthering the long standing tradition of quality cordage production not only for the most demanding commercial applications, but also for specialized U.S. Military, Safety and Rescue, and Marine applications.
Intensive quality assurance and state-of-the-art equipment combine with well-trained, knowledgeable employees, quality materials and pride of workmanship to establish our formula for success.
At PlymKraft the customer is number one. Our staff has studied the Deming Philosophy as it pertains to total quality management. Based on this philosophy, we have engaged our vendors and our customers in a partnership designed to create the best product on the market. Our guiding principles are based on creating a work environment that allows our employees to fulfill the needs of our customers.
We are members of TAPPI (Technical Association of Pulp & Paper Industry), the Society of Plastic Engineers, The Wire Association International, Inc, The Cordage Institute, and the Tree Care Industry.
