Fineline Marine Cordage – World-Class Ropes and Braids

At Action Outdoors, we are proud to supply premium Fineline Marine cordage products, designed and manufactured in New Zealand, with a tradition of excellence that spans over 75 years. Fineline Marine has become a trusted global leader in rope and braid production, combining heritage craftsmanship with the latest textile technology.

A Family Tradition of Innovation

Fineline Marine was co-founded in 1996 by Peter and Evan Lawrence, but the Lawrence family’s textile journey began long before that. In 1937, Jack Lawrence established New Zealand’s first braiding operation. His founding principles—honesty, integrity, and absolute quality—remain at the heart of Fineline Marine today. With decades of expertise and innovation, Fineline has built a reputation for delivering cordage solutions that stand up to the toughest demands.

Operating from a purpose-built factory in Auckland, New Zealand, Fineline Marine produces braids and ropes using the finest fibres sourced globally. With advanced automated European braiders and twisters, every product is made to the highest standard. Over 35% of Fineline Marine’s production is exported worldwide, showcasing their global reputation, while still proudly supporting local sailing clubs and marine organisations.
