Composite Rods

Non-metallic composite load-bearing rod, braided, made of E-glass fiber and a thermosetting resin. Designed for cable reinforcement applications, facilitating traction, torsion, and bending.

More info

Coated composite rods

JITEC rods coated with a thermoplastic sheath made of polypropylene, polyolefin, polyamide, or polyurethane. Specifically designed for cable routing and pulling over long distances in conduits.

More info

Polymer melt spinning

Bicomponent melt spinning of polymers, as monofilament or multifilament. Enables the processing of all thermoplastic polymers with transformation temperatures below 400 °C (PA11 / PA12 / RPA6 / PC / PEI / TPE / PPS / PEEK).

More info

Fibers improvement

Functionalization of various types of fibers. This may involve material assembly, commingling, functionalization through liquid impregnation, powder coating, sheathing, or finishing by braiding or overbraiding.

Research and Industrialization

Our design office will then examine the feasibility of your request.
All technical and mechanical criteria are analyzed, including raw materials, assembly, construction, processing, finishing, and packaging.
If development is possible, the sales team will send you a quote and a delivery timeframe.

Prototype Design

Once the quote and technical file have been approved, a prototype can be tested before being sent to you. We can have your product certified by the organization of your choice.

Laboratory Testing

All our products undergo rigorous laboratory testing: breaking strength, impact strength, elongation, flexibility, knotability, sheath slippage, water shrinkage, etc.
All tests comply with the various ISO regulations and European standards in force.
Additional tests can be carried out on request.

Approval and production

Your request is ready for industrialization.
We are committed to meeting the deadline.

The group

COUSIN® french industry since 1848

Since its creation in 1848, COUSIN® has positioned itself as an expert in fiber and technical rope designed for intensive use. In 1990, COUSIN spun off its activities into subsidiaries. The group has expertise as a manufacturer of ropes for sports and leisure activities (kitesurfing, water sports, climbing, etc.), for PPE for working at height, for industry, and for defense. The COUSIN® group has also become a major player in the manufacture of high-performance fibers and reinforced composites for all types of industries and dedicates part of its production to tennis and squash racket strings. Recent technological investments have positioned the group in the largest international markets.
