SINCE1960 Block Division Inc. was forged out of a creative desire to develop long lasting, small wire-rope pulley products! In 1959, this creative desire began to flourish due in part to the need of “One” customer needing industrial strength Blocks to remove oil drilling rods from the ground. With the need set before him, our Founder, Lloyd Sutton, combined with some assistance from his business partners, quickly created a small batch of small wire-rope Blocks for the customer.The first series of Blocks was a success and the customer returned quickly to purchase the remainder of the parts. As a result, Block Division produced a second round of 100 Blocks to be sold through a regional hardware supply house, Wichita Supply Company. Block Division was Incorporated in 1960 and as some people may say, “the rest is history”…. Block Division Inc. has been making history ever since and we are still pulling strong for more than half of a century. OURSTORY
