OUR
WORLD
Usha Martin is one of the world’s largest manufacturers of wire ropes. Our journey of more than
six decades has been focused on manufacturing excellence, product innovation, technology
improvements, and customer satisfaction, which has resulted in establishing Usha Martin
ropes as one of the most preferred and trusted brands in the world.

Usha Martin manufactures the most advanced high-performance steel wire ropes, which are
specially designed to meet the stringent requirements of the logging industry to the highest
international standards and ensure the utmost safety in critical operations. The forestry
ropes are subjected to a unique swaging process, which gives a compact rope structure, and
increased strength without compromising flexibility. Swaging improves the rope’s service
life and increases its load-carrying capacity. Usha Martin’s custom-made and precisely
engineered forestry ropes are ideal for logging applications to be used as hauling ropes in
tractor & skidder winches, and carrying & haul back rope in skyline tower yarder systems.

Usha Martin wire ropes undergo rigorous testing procedures to ensure superior quality
to meet the requirement of demanding operating conditions. No matter how critical your
application is, Usha Martin’s expertise is always there to offer one-stop wire rope solutions
for all your forestry needs.

Global companies, renowned for their critical applications, extensively use our high-
performance ropes worldwide. Our desire to excel is manifested through our group dynamics
having manufacturing facilities in India, Thailand, Dubai & United Kingdom, distribution
centres spread over all continents, Global Development Centre in Italy and service centres in
India, Netherlands, Scotland, Singapore, Dubai and Saudi Arabia. Our service-focused model
has elevated Usha Martin from being a wire rope supplier to a one-stop solutions provider in
collaboration with our customers.
