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.
