U.S. TWAY
[ BY JOE NOLAN
ince the 1940’s Te Tway Company has built its reputation as a producer of rugged, hard working rigging products and as a provider of knowledgeable, friendly customer service. Te Indianapolis-based company is the largest and oldest rigging house in the state of Indiana and today it’s known as one of the premiere rigging lofts and material handling equipment service centers in the Midwest.
S
Te Tway Company was founded by Joseph R. Tway in 1943. Mr. Tway was a salesman for Te Macwhyte Wire Rope Company for many years, covering the Indiana and Kentucky coal mines. When time came for Joe to retire, he and his wife Katherine opened the Jos. R. Tway Company in their home town. Teir business model was wire rope, cut to length and delivered via taxi cab. In that era, cut lengths and delivery were not typical for rope dealers and Te Tway Company continues to distinguish itself today by going the extra mile for its customers. “Tere are a few of us that are still family owned and operated, a lot of our customers want to come in and sit down and talk with us personally. Tey don’t want to get lost in the shuffle at some bigger, less personal shop,” says Peter Hansen, the company’s president and C.E.O., and the grandson of founder Joseph Tway. Currently, the company serves the construction,
automotive and utility infrastructure industries and its manufactured goods are sold at brick and mortar retailers, and online sites across America. Tway Lifting Products boasts the largest inventory of fiber ropes, wire ropes, shackles, turnbuckles, eye bolts, blocks, chains, tie-downs, binders, web slings, pipe lifters, and wire rope slings in their region. Tey also supply a full line of parts and accessories
