Associated Wire Rope Fabricators
The AWRF (Associated Wire Rope Fabricators) was formed in 1975 by a group of businessmen who felt there was a need for sling fabricators and special rigging components manufacturers to join together to for a trade association. It was originally created by representatives from nine companies in the United States, but in two decades the organization grew to address the needs of over 300 member companies worldwide.
The AWRF promotes the common interests that exist in companies that manufacture, fabricate or distribute lifting, rigging and load securement devices which are made of chain, wire rope or synthetic products. The AWRF works to establish, acquire and preserve various technical information. They encourage the development of safety standards and product identification procedures. They also assist in establishing and maintaining adequate products liability insurance, as well as other insurance needs for the industry. Common problems and purposes of the industry, such as those involving production, distribution, service and safety are reviewed and advanced on a regular basis.
The professionals who are members of the AWRF are constantly striving to maintain the highest standards of quality and service. There are many advantages for a firm that joins and actively participates. Most important, the customer that buy products or services from a AWRF member can feel secure that he is purchasing from a professional firm which is striving for excellence.
