Yale Cordage, a Saco company that makes a wide range of specialty ropes for key industries such as mining and arboriculture, took home the “Best in Show” trophy at Trade Day 2018 for a new product that it says is “as strong as steel, as flexible as rope and as malleable as putty.”
Manufactured by Resin Fibers, a subsidiary of Yale Cordage, the winning product is called Braeön — a lightweight thermoplastic ribbon that molecularly fuses to itself and has been tested and proven to withstand extreme force and conditions.
