In logging applications that require an even longer and stronger rope, PowerSwage can pull its way to a longer service life for you. 30% higher in strength ratio, these wire ropes are designed to resist abrasion and drum crushing in logging applications.

It’s the compact design with smoother wire surfaces that allows you to spool a greater length of rope onto drums than an unswaged rope of comparable size and strength.

During our exclusive manufacturing process, PowerSwage is rotary- swaged after the closing of the rope to produce a compacted cross-section with minimum voids and greater surface area on the outer wires that contact drums and sheaves during operation.

Union Wire Rope, a WireCo WorldGroup Brand, has been the industry leader in the design and manufacturing of wire ropes and assemblies for more than 100 years, delivering exceptional service and unmatched support worldwide.

Union has a rich history dating back to just before the United States entered World War I. Commodity prices were steadily increasing and headlines such as “Oil Prices Bound to Soar” were typical. Industries were experiencing shortages of supplies and rising prices. The lack of wire rope had become so acute that drilling and production of petroleum products were threatened.

Today, Union remains an industry leader in oil and gas, mining, crane and general-purpose ropes with technical support unmatched in the industry. The Union Cut-Off Program, which is designed to calculate, log and track the service life of Union drill lines is recognized by contractors around the world as the best in the industry.

Seeking trebled damages under the antitrust laws, Sunbury Wire Rope Manufacturing Company, a Pennsylvania corporation, has brought this suit against several other corporations in the District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Sunbury charges that the defendants have participated in a conspiracy in restraint of trade which has destroyed its Pennsylvania manufacturing business.

One of the defendants is the Roebling Securities Corporation, formerly J. A. Roebling"s Sons Company. This defendant is a New Jersey corporation which had been registered and doing business in Pennsylvania at the time of the alleged wrongs, but had duly cancelled its registration and discontinued its business in Pennsylvania before this action was instituted against it. It was brought into this litigation by substituted service, complaint and summons being served upon the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This was thought to be a proper and effective procedure because, in applying for leave to withdraw its Pennsylvania registration, Roebling had filed with the Secretary of the Commonwealth, as required by the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law, 15 P.S. § 2852-1 et seq., a document containing the following provision:

Roebling moved to dismiss the action on the ground that venue was improperly laid in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and its consent to suit and service did not extend to this litigation. The court granted the motion and entered judgment for Roebling. The court also undertook to make its action immediately appealable by entering certification of finality under Rule 54(b) of the Rules of Civil Procedure, 28 U.S.C. This appeal followed.

One question raised here is whether the present suit seeks to enforce "a liability incurred within Pennsylvania." In analyzing the factual situation which the pleadings and supplemental papers reveal, the district court properly pointed out that in "its complaint in the present case plaintiff claims as damages the total loss of the value of its business together with a loss of profits. These losses occurred in Sunbury, Pennsylvania, within Northumberland County. Hence the cause of action asserted herein arose in the Middle District of Pennsylvania which includes Northumberland County." The gravamen of Sunbury"s complaint is that conspiratorial acts of the several defendants have made its operation of a manufacturing enterprise in Pennsylvania unprofitable. Wherever particular wrongful acts of the conspirators may have occurred, the injurious impact upon the plaintiff is said to have been through its business activities in Pennsylvania. Liability for injury thus suffered in Pennsylvania is "liability incurred within Pennsylvania" within the meaning of Roebling"s consent to remain suable. Boulevard Airport v. Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corp., D.C.E.D. Pa. 1949, 85 F. Supp. 876. Indeed this language has been interpreted even more broadly than the present case requires to cover causes of action much less intimately related to Pennsylvania than this one. Carlisle v. Kelly Pile & Foundation Corp., 3 Cir., 1949, 175 F.2d 414, followed by the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County in Virginia Metal Products Corp. v. John W. Cowper Co., Inc., 1950, 73 Pa.Dist. & Co.R. 293.

LS Commercial Real Estate Inc. is the redeveloper, marketing agent and property manager for the project. The company bought the 640,000-square-foot site in 2003, when it was vacated by its former tenant, Union Wire Rope Corp., said Paul Licausi, president of LS Commercial.

Construction on the site began in the 1930s by Armco Steel Corp. Because the facility was constructed in phases, it stands as about 40 buildings grouped as one large complex and five smaller free-standing buildings. Licausi said the buildings" structure is unmatched in the area mainly because Armco wanted the site to have crane capacity throughout. In lieu of using self-supporting cranes, the company welded tracks for the cranes to the roofs and built the facility to withstand heavy loads.

Russ Merwin, president of 2M Manufacturing LLC, said the structure is one of the reasons he leases space at the business center. His company is a computer numerical-controlled machine shop that machines goods made from metal. He said that there are two substations on the premises and that the "tremendous amount of electricity available" is important for his work.

He said the company plans to revamp the facility by painting the buildings" exterior, increasing parking, landscaping the grounds and renovating the roof. He estimated it will take five years to complete the restoration.
