On October 2nd, 2006, Ben-Mor Cables, Inc. acquired Continental Cable Company located in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, USA. 

Continental Cable and its affiliates have been producing wire rope since 1948.  The company has evolved into a leading manufacturer of custom wire rope and cable assemblies.  Continental Cable expanded its product line to include an extensive stock of cable hardware with the acquisition of GBG Industries in 1989. 

Continental Cable is an ISO9001:2000 and AS9100:2004 company which is essential when serving the aircraft industry.  Also, Continental Cable is a qualified products list producer of MIL-DTL-83420 aircraft control cable as well as Federal Specification RR-W-410.  With these qualifications, we are able to provide military and federal specification products for the aircraft and industrial markets.
