Military Braided Products
Gladding is an approved vendor of the United States Departmentof Defense, passing all of the government’s quality control, first-article inspection requirements. Gladding earned its reputation for quality
cordage among Yankee clipper ship sailors who insisted on the most
dependable and durable cordage as they sailed to all parts of the
world. During World War II, the U.S. and Allied governments
called upon Gladding’s expertise for the manufacture of
parachute cords, tow lines, bomb lanyards, shroud lines,
survival kit items, and cordage for many other special needs.
Our certified and calibrated laboratory’s policy is one of

for all our workers, the significance of quality. We believe that the
stringent standards required by the government serve to uphold
a high level of quality throughout our manufacturing process.
