R&W Rope
Founded in 1985 by Rod McCollester, R&W Rope began as a modest, family-run distribution business operating out of a hand-me-down car. Today, it has evolved into a premier provider of high-quality rope, rigging solutions, and hardware—serving a wide range of industries including marine, construction, arboriculture, climbing, crafting, and jewelry-making.
Backed by a team of 30 dedicated professionals with over 150 years of combined experience, R&W Rope offers expert services such as custom rope splicing, full-service rigging, and specialized hardware solutions. With a catalog of more than 14,000 SKUs, the company boasts one of the most extensive rope selections in the industry, featuring a diverse range of materials, designs, and color options.
R&W Rope’s products and expertise have been trusted on high-profile projects, including blockbuster films like Pirates of the Caribbean and Master and Commander. In 2024, the company further expanded its capabilities and regional reach by acquiring The Rope Guru, enhancing its synthetic rope and rigging services across New England.
Guided by a commitment to integrity, collaboration, and exceptional customer service, R&W Rope delivers tailored solutions for professionals, businesses, and DIY enthusiasts alike. The company also supports its community by offering OEM manufacturing, wholesale programs, and special pricing for veterans, active-duty military, first responders, non-profits, camps, and educational institutions.
