Rope, Cordage and Twine Mills
As of the mid-2000s, there were roughly 166 companies producing rope, cordage, and twine products, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. These businesses shipped $617 million worth of products in 2005. They employed 4,196 people (3,081 production workers) and had a total estimated payroll of $144 million.

After a brief peak during the booming economic years of the late 1990s, that market declined again in the early 2000s when the U.S. economy slipped into a recession.
Almost all cordage and twine makers buy their yarn from yarn mills. Two or more strands of yarn are then twisted (plied) a certain number of turns per inch. Depending on the intended use for the product, cabling follows the twisting process. Cabling is similar to twisting except that where twisting involves wrapping several single strands of yarn together, cabling wraps several strands of plied yarns together. The cabling continues until the proper size of twine, cord, or rope is developed.
Among the largest of the establishments in this industry was Wire Rope Corporation of America Inc. of St. Joseph, Missouri, with about 500 employees and sales of approximately $77 million in 2005. Sackner Products (a division of Jason Inc. based in...
