Brothers Ken and George Randall own Hessville Cable and Sling.  Their father,  Boyd Randall started the business in 1960 in Hammond, Indiana.  In the beginning the company  was primarily involved with cable splicing but eventually grew into manufacturing  slings for local contractors and manufacturers.  Committed to quality and building strong relationships, the company continued to grow.  Additional space was need to allow for the new products and services and in 1971 the operation was moved to a larger building in Gary, Indiana where it  operated for 9 years.  With an expanding customer base and sales growth the business moved to its current facility with over 60,000 square feet and 45 employees using cutting edge technology to handle all industrial supply needs.  The company is involved with tool repair, chain manufacturing, nylon sling manufacturing, cable sling manufacturing and related services.  These divisions transact business with various industry groups ranging from steel mills to railroad and construction companies.  The chain department ships product all over the country and is computer tested with a 600,000# capacity proof tester.  In the tool repair shop, every piece of equipment brought in is re-built to manufacturers original standards.  The cable division is one of the largest and oldest in the Midwest and with a broad inventory of domestic and specialty ropes they can deliver top quality rope and slings for any application.  As we proceed into the new millennium we look forward to providing our customers with only the best product and service and we welcome new companies to visit our facility to see first hand Hessville Cable & Sling's commitment to excellence.
