About Us
We Are Here to Deliver
In everything we do, our products reflect the experience of our cordage industry employees, who are dedicated to product quality, reliability, innovation, fast order fulfillment, and exceptional customer service and satisfaction.
Founded in 1972 by four former members of the Brantford Cordage Company (est. in the early 1900s to become the largest exclusive manufacturer of binder twine in the world by the 1930s), Guelph Twines quickly became known for product quality and innovation by the comprehensive experience of its founders.
Today, Guelph Twines retains the same quality reputation and strength of experience as a third-generation family-owned business manufacturing twines, monofilaments, and cable fillers for many commercial, industrial, and agricultural businesses across North America.
