Global crane component manufacturer locating in Henrico

The new location will serve as a key hub for Ropeblock to store its premium products, which are distributed to crane manufacturing companies throughout the U.S.

“This momentous occasion signifies an important milestone for our company as we expand our operations to better serve our valued customers and partners," said Ropeblock Commercial Manager Ron Kammeijer.

Ropeblock’s investment in Henrico is part of its strategy to optimize logistics and streamline distribution channels to ensure the rapid delivery of its products to clients worldwide.

“We are thrilled Ropeblock selected Henrico for its first U.S. location,” said Brookland District Supervisor Dan Schmitt. “Locating their distribution operation in Henrico’s flourishing Westwood Area with its prime interstate access will allow Ropeblock to quickly receive and ship products to their U.S. customers."

Henrico County recently was named the second-best location in the world for transport and warehousing strategy by fDi Intelligence.
