BlueWater Ropes is a Veteran owned Small Business. BlueWater Ropes complies with all Defense Supply Center Philadelphia's (DSCP's) Qualified Suppliers List (QSL) Criteria and Provisions and is a current approved QSL Manufacturer of Rope and Cordage for DSCP-NASA.

BlueWater traces its roots to a family-owned business that began manufacturing ropes and cordage in 1903. Their modern history began in 1969 when they manufactured the first American-made kernmantle caving rope. This rope went on to become the now famous BlueWater II +Plus™. The standard in quality and durability. In 1975 they introduced the first synthetic low elongation rope for fire and industrial high-rise rescue. Synthetic nylon fiber was a radical departure from the norm of one inch manila ropes that were in use. Their UL Classified NFPA 1983/2006 edition life safety ropes have become the most widely used ropes of this type in the country and are the first choice of fire and rescue groups around the world. They followed in 1982 with the first commercially available line of UIAA certified dynamic climbing ropes made in the U.S.A. These ropes rapidly gained popularity with climbers due to their unsurpassed quality and performance.

In 1995 BlueWater became the first American manufacturer in our industry to obtain ISO 9000 Certification. This guarantees no deviation in the manufacturing process. The ISO program requires substantial dedication from BlueWater but they know it is worth the effort. It insures you are receiving undeniably the best products available today.
