At Sturges Manufacturing, we specialize in producing Kevlar® DRD webbing. We offer this webbing in bulk, cut-to-length pieces, and fully sewn drag rescue devices (DRDs), made to meet the demands of emergency rescue operations. Our firefighter rescue webbing is trusted by OEMs in the fire industry for its strength, heat resistance, and reliability in critical situations.
In addition to DRD webbing, we also manufacture Kevlar® straps used in other firefighting equipment. These products are built with 100% U.S.-sourced materials and berry-compliant para-aramid webbing.

Our Kevlar® DRD products have a well-established track record because of the one-of-a-kind processes we have in place. We manufacture firefighter DRD straps with precision to meet the demands of rescue operations. While webbing and sewing may be extensive methods for creating these products, they are proven to be safe and effective.
