Manufactured at the Sandy Lane factory in Worksop, the Ocean Max cables are a best in class steel wire rope that will be used on pipe laying supply vessels in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Brazil.
Transported on purpose built spools, standing over 4.7 metres high, the production of the Ocean Max cables is a true international trade collaboration. The raw material steel wire is delivered from a partner factory in India and manufactured in a purpose built, half a kilometre long winding shed in Worksop, taking advantage of Brunton Shaw’s 130 years of industry experience. The finished products are then shipped to market from the Port at Goole.
Councillor James Naish, Leader of Bassetlaw District Council said: “Bassetlaw is home to world leading industry and this latest export from Brunton Shaw is building on the international trade that takes place in our district.
"Bassetlaw is a place that likes to do business and we are proud that companies like Brunton Shaw are able to expand their operations and deliver world class products that are part of multi-national collaborations.
