In May 2014, Samson and United Offshore Services (UOS) are pleased to announce their recent partnership to supply Samson high-performance synthetic ropes to Europe. This expansion of the UOS product offering is driven by the increasing demand from their customers who recognize and value the advantages of heavy lift slings made with synthetic rope. Samson manufactures high-performance synthetic rope from its production facilities in the United States. Samson has more experience replacing steel-wire rope than any other synthetic rope producer in the world. Custom-engineered solutions for unique applications are Samson's focus in industries as diverse as vessel mooring, tug assist/escort, mining, cranes, and offshore oil and gas.
