Western Filament

Western Filament, Inc. specializes in a diverse range of high-performance products, drawing on a rich history that began in 1938. The company initially focused on manufacturing corset strings and shoelaces but quickly expanded into recreational and industrial applications. Western Filament is renowned for its advanced fishing lines, particularly the revolutionary Spectra (UHMWPE) fishing line, which set new standards for strength and performance in the fishing industry.

The product portfolio includes a variety of offerings such as sewing threads, marine ropes, lacing tapes, and sleeving, all designed to meet the rigorous demands of both recreational and industrial markets. Their innovative braided synthetic fibers, originally developed for military parachutes during World War II, have been adapted into products that excel in durability and reliability.

Western Filament prides itself on using state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques in their custom-designed facility in Grand Junction, CO. The company’s commitment to quality ensures that each product meets stringent performance criteria, making them the preferred choice for industries ranging from aerospace to automotive, as well as for recreational applications like fishing and boating.
