A Leading Fall Protection Manufacturer Based in the USA

Hello to you from Jason Wible, President of FrenchCreek, and thank you for visiting our website. When my father, Carl Wible, founded FrenchCreek in 1992, it was his passion to ensure that American Made is at the core of the company’s growth and success in manufacturing top-quality fall-arrest and rescue systems. Today, even though FrenchCreek has transitioned into a much larger headquarters, the design, testing, and manufacturing operations proudly remain in Franklin, Pennsylvania.

American made means a lot more than just a job for FrenchCreek team members, it means many more American jobs in product delivery, packaging, design, and engineering. In addition, American Made jobs support our local communities and small businesses that are part of where those workers live every day.

In addition, Made in the USA means a clean and safe environment for workers, environmentally friendly manufacturing regulations and facilities, and a high bar for quality standards. Safety professionals can sleep well at night knowing they are using FrenchCreek equipment.

IN-HOUSE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

Right here in Franklin, PA is where development takes place. Our engineering team is equipped with the tools to take products from concept to the workplace. We use Computer-Aided Design (CAD) to create 3D models for analysis. 3D printing is also utilized for rapid prototyping and testing purposes

FrenchCreek’s ISO-accredited lab performs testing on all new products in the development process, as well as continued compliance testing for existing products. A few features include a fully equipped drop-test tower and two tensile-testing machines that allow us to ensure tensile strengths of raw materials and finished products.

WHERE DID THE NAME “FRENCHCREEK” COME FROM?

Located at 100 N. 13th Street in the historical town of Franklin Pennsylvania, FrenchCreek Fall Safety is settled right on the banks of our namesake, the historical waterway French Creek. Few streams in western Pennsylvania are more attractive and more biologically diverse than French Creek. This nationally renowned waterway begins in Chautauqua County, western New York, and flows for 117 miles through the northwestern Pennsylvania counties of Erie, Crawford, Mercer, and Venango until it empties into the Allegheny River at Franklin, Pennsylvania. With nine major tributaries, the watershed encompasses 1,235 square miles, over 90 percent of which are in Pennsylvania’s rolling hills and broad valleys of the Allegheny River watershed.

NAMED BY GEORGE WASHINGTON

A historical waterway, French Creek was originally named Riviere aux Boeufs (Cattle River) by the French due to the amount of migrating bison herds that roamed the area. In 1753 a young George Washington journeyed to Fort LeBoeuf (now Waterford, Erie County PA) to warn the French that they were occupying British territory. Washington then renamed the creek appropriately to modern-day French Creek. French Creek provided early settlers with abundant natural resources, including a waterway for transportation. – Western Pennsylvania Conservancy
