History

The company CASAR Drahtseilwerk Saar was founded in 1948 by Joseph Verreet. CASAR is an abbreviation for the French term ’Câblerie Sarroise’. CASAR produced the first 8-strand ropes in 1949, in a time, where six-strand-ropes were usual. The ’Space Mountain’ at EuroDisney works with a wire rope from CASAR.
In 2006, CASAR developed composite ropes to decrease weight.
Since 2007 CASAR has been part of WireCo WorldGroup.
