UPDATE

Ocean Products is currently setting up a new test bed for proof loading and destruction certification. Our commercial fishing supply now includes distribution of Keystone Steel & Wire products (saltwater crab wire) and Riverdale Mills welded wire products. We have just completed a 12K square foot building for supply and testing services. Call or email Ocean Products for friendly and professional service.

A Little Bit of History

As a Regional Sales Manager for Samson Cordage Works, Robert C. Hutson was challenged by the United States Navy in 1963 to develop a helicopter sling with non-dielectric properties. Our sailors on aircraft carriers were being shocked as they used wire rope (steel) slings to hook up cargo to the bottom of helicopters. A synthetic sling, or Reach Pendant, made with 2-in-1 nylon rope, was designed, spliced, and fabricated in a neighbor's kitchen.

 

Ocean Products Research, Inc. was created by R.C. Hutson in 1964 and we have been fabricating synthetic net and rope assemblies for the government, military, marine, industrial and commercial fishing ever since. OPR still produces vastly improved Helo Reach Pendants and we know our pendants are the best!

Ocean Products is a small work force with a strong family work ethic and we believe in doing things right and on time. We have years of experience in the synthetic cordage field. We have supply source capabilities for a vast number of items in this specialized industry.
