Courant

Manufacturer of ropes and rope accessories

Since 1825 Courant has been manufacturing rope in Angers, France. For almost 200 years this family run business has put the knowledge and expertise gained over generations, to good use serving its worldwide customer base.

Courant has always had its roots in the Anjou region which has a strong history in the growing and manufacturing of hemp ropes. Our original business was to make braids for fishing nets used in professional fishing.
In the 1950’s we diversified into the vertical and safety sectors when we collaborated with the French electricity company to improve the safety of operators working on high tension lines.

In the 60’s Marcel Courant made a historical decision for the company when we began using a synthetic material for the first time, this greatly increased the safety and durability of our ropes. From the beginning innovation has been in the DNA of our business.
