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.
