The company's history began in 1968 in London as Offshore Instruments, and in 1976 it moved to Cowes, where its headquarters is now located on Birmingham Road. This building initially served as a home for production facilities, office spaces, and apartments. Spinlock develops a unique range of rope management devices, utilizing new materials and volume-oriented manufacturing processes, made possible by the emergence of high-strength fiber ropes. In the 1980s, the company changed its name to Spinlock to better reflect this new direction in its development.
To this day, Spinlock maintains its leading positions in this field, and its product line is now labeled as CONTROL. Since then, the company has begun to expand its global network of distributors, which required the segregation of production sites to a separate local facility.
