The COUSIN® Group brings together the former companies Cousin Trestec and Cousin Composites. Cousin Trestec is a rope manufacturer specializing since 1848 in the transformation of synthetic fibers through twisting, cabling, braiding, and impregnation. Serving a diverse clientele in fields such as sports (boating, climbing, caving, hiking, mountaineering, paragliding, kitesurfing, etc.), safety (working at heights, rescue, handling, events, etc.), and industrial (offshore, lifting, automotive) and military applications, Cousin Trestec is the benchmark in the rope market. Leveraging the expertise of the group and its subsidiary Cousin Composites (manufacturing composite rods, draw needles, innovative yarns, and stringing Tecnifibre rackets), Cousin Trestec is committed to offering you tailored solutions and providing its full expertise in quality and innovation to effectively meet your needs. Beyond our high standards and rigorous product design, your satisfaction is our top priority.
To enhance comfort, safety, and performance, the group uses the best materials available on the market: high-tenacity polyamide and polyester, Technora®, Dyneema®, Twaron®, HMPE, Spectra®, Vectran®, and the latest PBO®. In addition to unparalleled material expertise, the strength of the COUSIN® group lies in its ability to combine all technologies and its mastery of heat treatments (stretching, shrinking, stabilization, waterproofing) and impregnation processes. Based on your specifications, COUSIN® develops customized product lines. Combining traditional craftsmanship with expertise in high-tech fibers is the group’s hallmark.
