About Us

Ancra International was founded in 1969 as a supplier of tiedown fittings and straps catering to the recreational offroad vehicle industry.  Ancra’s product use quickly expanded to include restraint of bulk cargo on freighter aircraft and in the 1980s Ancra brought to service our first cargo loading system on a passenger-to-freighter converted 727 aircraft.  Today Ancra International is the industry standard for aircraft main deck cargo loading systems equipping over 60% of the world’s aircraft freighter fleet with our products – while continuing to provide a variety of fittings and straps for ground, air, and rail cargo restraint and transport.
