Catahoula Manufacturing, Inc. - Bank Line, White Twisted

Although Catahoula Manufacturing makes many products, our main product is twisted seine twine. Catahoula Manufacturing has the capability of producing over 5 million pounds of twine per year.

Making twisted twine is basically a two-step process. The first step being to twist the yarn together into one strand of the string, the first twist is then put "three-up" on the second twist machine, and then three strands are twisted into a three strand twine. At CMI we put the full amount of twist into all our twine to get a full body twine.

After the second twist, most twine manufacturers spool the twine and send it on its way. However, we take the twine to a conditioning oven where it is heat set or stabilized to minimize untwisting when the twine is cut.
