ABOUT US

FROM THE DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT TO THE TESTING LABORATORY

2004 ➟

verope® AG, founded in 2004 as a joint venture company between Pierre Verreet and Kiswire Ltd., stands for high-quality special wire ropes you can rely on. From day one of the foundation of verope® AG, development and perfection of the products were among the top priorities.

2018 ➟

Kiswire Verope Research & Development was established in 2018 as an independent partner company of verope and Kiswire. The verope® know-how in application engineering and rope design and the expertise of Kiswire, the world's largest manufacturer of high-carbon steel wires, in production technology, metallurgy and materials engineering were combined in Contwig, Germany.

2022 ➟

Our goal is to develop highly innovative products for lifting applications and continuously improve our existing products and their components with state-of-the-art production and testing facilities. Close cooperation with leading OEMs, wire rope component manufacturers and universities is key to our application-oriented research and development approach.
