Request Information
At Associated Fastening Products, we supply cord and cordage customized to application-specific requirements. We provide solutions for everything from light duty to extra heavy-duty bungee cord, and with our hardware manufacturing capabilities, we can supply complete bungee assemblies with custom end options. We use the finest quality materials and produce bungee cord in an extensive range of diameters and lengths. As a one-stop source for superior quality fastening solutions, we offer a comprehensive platform of additional services like poly bagging, special packaging, warehousing, and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) programs.

Bungee cord consists of elastic strands covered by a woven sheath. The inner core is manufactured using either natural or synthetic rubbers with various degrees of elasticity and elongation ratings. Numerous options are available for the outer sheath to accommodate a wide range of service conditions. Typically made of braided fabrics with different color and weave options, coverings feature various levels of abrasion resistance, tensile strength, and other performance attributes.

Tapping into our hardware manufacturing capabilities, we offer custom cord end treatments. Some examples include plastic and metal hooks, S-hooks, swivels, etc. We carry out comprehensive quality control and provide PPAP and all necessary certifications and other documentation. All production processes are lot controlled for traceability. Our flexible systems enable us to cost-effectively handle short-run projects and those involving a million units or more. To learn more about our custom cord and cordage manufacturing capabilities or make an inquiry, contact us directly.
