DSM Group

dsm group was started in 1982 and began distributing fibre ropes throughout the UK from Mirfield, West Yorkshire where the company's head quarters remain today.
DSM has 4 factories in the UK in West Yorkshire - West Midlands - Suffolk - East Sussex.

After establishing relationships with large high quality manufacturers in Europe dsm soon gained a reputation for good quality ropes. Many of the relationships with these same suppliers still continue today keeping our products very consistent.

A family business dsm continued to expand throughout the 1980’s adding to existing products year after year. During the 1990s founder David Saddington was joined in the business by two sons Nigel and Paul all three still run the company today with the help of many experienced members of staff. During the

1990’s expansion continued, with the opening of factories in the midlands, producing loadstraps and shockcord products and Covertec in Ipswich, producing bespoke canvas products.

Early in 2002 saw the birth of Kingfisher Yacht ropes, dsm brought this new own brand to the market place with great success so much so that after only 8 years Kingfisher is one of the most recognisable names for rope in the UK leisure marine market. Service is the key in the dsm success story and we promise to keep the same levels of service to all customers in the future.
