History
Our roots in fibre rope manufacturing go back to 1843 when Healey Bothers began ropemaking in Heywood, Lancashire. Over the years, a number of smaller companies have been acquired, including Whiteley Products, Dollomore, John H Blakey & College Accessories, which form the basis of the current Ibex Marina Ropes Ltd.
In 2021 we completed our move from the original Cartridge Ropery built by the Healey Brothers, to a brand new factory 3 miles away at Pilsworth, Bury.
