The Industrial Company for Fishing Furniture L’Avenir, was created in 1973 by Mr Chabchoub Mohamed in the town of Sfax, where he begin the production of ropes by the means of manual traditional procedures using a mold string.

The "mold string" is a procedure that consists of two parts: one called wheel generally has four hooks driven by a single crank, the other side is square, that is to say, one swivel hook attached to a pole itself mounted on casters.

The thread is going to hook the wheel than the square and come back on a second wheel hook. And so, following an eight. The size of the rope on the number of performed eight. At the desired thickness, an aide turned the wheel hooks, while the tailpiece takes care of maintaining separate son. The son become twisted strands.

As they are formed, the square is a little closer to the wheel. When the strands are twisted enough, the tailpiece slip them a block or toupin (small room oval, dug enough to engage the strands) and place it against the hook with another square is then rotated , to allow the four strands are twisted together. The rope is formed as the tailpiece block led to the spinning wheel.

Anxious to develop a culture and a tradition of quality within his team and strong by its big experience in the field and its relationship with the marine workplace, Mr. Chabchoub will know an immediate and lasting success that will help him to upgrade his small workshop to become a large and modern factory equipped with the up to date machines producing professional ropes, which reputation will goes beyond Tunisian borders.
