Wall was incorporated in 1830 and has been held by the original family since its inception. Wall was founded by William Wall in Brooklyn, New York. The company expanded and moved to Beverly, NJ in 1896. Over the years, the company continued to grow and expanded to six separate divisions. The Beverly rope manufacturing facility encompassing 28 acres, was specifically designed to manufacture natural fiber rope. It became obsolete due to the development of synthetic fiber pioneered by the collective efforts of Wall, Dupont and Philips Petroleum that replaced natural raw materials. Thereafter Wall focused entirely on the manufacture of synthetic rope and the need for the enormous Beverly facility with a deep water dock and railroad diminished. The decision to relocate to a modern facility in North Carolina was accomplished in 1981. Throughout Wall's history, it has survived the Civil War, the Spanish American War, two World Wars, the Korean War and the Vietnam Conflict by being able to adapt to economic, technological and market changes. Wall continues its rich history of state-of-art product development, diversification, and superior quality of products and service.
