About Us

Everything
From Large To Small Wooden Cable Reels.

Ely Reel Co was established in 1986 by our founder, Marvin Weaver. His purpose was to address the needs of North American plastic tubing manufacturers for storage reels used to inventory flexible plastic tubing.

Today, from our manufacturing facility in Apple Creek, Ohio we supply our customers in various industries with the wooden reels they need to store and transport their products. We specialize in Nailed Wood Reels and offer them both fully assembled or as reel kits.

USA GROWN
SOUTHERN
YELLOW PINE

All our reels are made with 100% American grown Southern Yellow Pine lumber that is responsibly harvested across the South and Mid- Atlantic regions of the USA. SYP is an eco friendly species with a negative carbon footprint. These pine trees are a fast-growing species, meaning they can be harvested and replaced quickly compared to other lumber options. This ensures a steady supply of the material without depleting natural resources.

Our Mission:

To help our customers be successful by ensuring they always have the reels they need to run their products efficiently.

At Ely Reel Co, our goal is to make the procurement of the required reels be the least challenging part of operations for our customers. We do this by consistently producing high quality reels and delivering the shipments on time.

We strive to treat others as we wish to be treated which means we value our employees and offer our highest level of service to our customers. We pay attention to the details and always look for ways to improve our products, processes and services. We give our best in all that we do and in so doing, we honor our creator.
