About
CASAR

Heritage of Innovation

CASAR is an abbreviation for the French term 'Câblerie Sarroise'. CASAR, today known as WireCo Germany GmbH, was founded in 1948 by Consul Joseph Verreet. Since its inception, CASAR has stood for innovative product developments, producing the first 8-strand ropes in 1949 when six-strand ropes were the standard. During the decades since, we continue to be the innovator in specialty wire ropes which is verified by our consistent growth over the decades.

We continually develop new and innovative technologies to improve our products and testing facilities. Our manufacturing operations have custom engineered monitoring systems which allow us to track the quality of production in real time. We have established and follow the industry's most comprehensive testing of products. Our quality assurance and certified manufacturing processes exceed all global standards, and our consultative approach for developing ropes ensures compliance and performance.

CASAR ropes support mission-critical needs across crane, mining, and demanding lifting applications.
