About
Nylacast was established in Leicester, United Kingdom, in 1967, where its world headquarters remain. In 1974 it introduced Nylacast Oilon, described as the first genuine lubricated cast nylon, followed by the wax-lubricated Nylube in 1989. The Chock Liner draws on over 20 years of field experience in design, testing and material selection with fibre ropes.
The company employs over 600 team members across four continents and exports 78% of its UK-manufactured goods to more than 50 countries, delivering more than 4.75 million engineered products a year to over 2,200 customers. Its manufacturing facilities operate to ISO 9001:2015, and extrusion is carried out exclusively at Nylacast South Africa. An in-house Engineering Training Academy has developed more than 60 apprentices.
