Aamstrand Ropes & Twines Inc. was founded in 1965. In an industry that has been dominated by companies over a century old, Aamstrand is a newcomer. The company was founded on the premise that change, innovation, and new technology are the elements needed in this industry calcified by tradition, outdated ideas, and methods. Now, after more than 50 years we believe Aamstrand to be the leader in our industry. Aamstrand brand products were being produced in Bedford Park, IL, until 1989, at which time the facility was expanded and moved to Manteno, IL where we have been for the past 27 years.
