📣 Exciting News from Hampiðjan Group!
We’re proud to announce that Hampiðjan has signed an agreement to acquire International Rope Braid (IRB) — a leading Australian braided rope manufacturer based on the Gold Coast, just south of Brisbane.

Founded by Dave and Suzy Allan in 2005, IRB has grown from the ground up into one of Australia's premier braided rope manufacturers, servicing sectors like Aquaculture, Yachting, Sailmaking, Mining, Marine, and Cable Pulling. Over the years, IRB and Hampidjan Australia have built a strong collaborative relationship — and now we're taking the next step.

From August 1st, IRB’s operations will become part of Hampidjan’s global network, enhancing our ability to deliver high-quality, coverbraided ropes more efficiently across Australia and New Zealand. IRB’s local expertise, short lead times, and highly skilled team will complement Hampidjan Australia and Hampidjan Baltic operations perfectly.

💬 “We are thrilled to leave our company—and especially our team—in such capable hands. We know IRB’s future will thrive with Hampidjan.” – Dave & Suzy Allan, IRB Founders
💬 “This acquisition is a vital step to improve delivery times and service to our customers in the region.” – Hjörtur Erlendsson, CEO, Hampidjan Group

End of an Era – A New Chapter Begins
After 20 incredible years in Australia, of braiding rope and building something special, David and Suzy are retiring from International Rope Braid. 🇦🇺✨
What started as a passion and pretty humble beginnings, grew into one of Australia’s most respected rope braiding operations. From long hours, challenges, and achievements — to friendships, laughter, and community — it’s been an unforgettable journey.
But while we say goodbye to this chapter, the story continues...
We're excited to share that International Rope Braid has been officially acquired by Hampidjan, a global leader in advanced rope, nets, and fishing solutions. This transition brings exciting opportunities for our team, while keeping our values and quality strong.
Even better — our amazing team of 13 skilled staff members are all staying on, led by Thomas Latham, the Operations Manager, who is committed to keeping the heart of the business running strong. Our team, whom you would all have dealt with over the last years have been the backbone of our company, and that will not change.
Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the years — customers, suppliers, partners, family, friends, and some amazing past team members - We couldn’t have done it without you.
Here’s to new beginnings — and the same dedication to excellence.
— With gratitude,
David & Suzy
