About Us

Claw International, now located, Minnesota was founded in 1995 in South Sioux City, Nebraska. Claw International later moved to Sioux City, Iowa. The first clip was manufactured using a homemade die in a small, rural machine shop located in Onawa, Iowa. The complete process was done by hand, including a spot weld on the first model, with 1000 pieces made per day.

The president of Hastings Pipe Company in Hastings, Nebraska, took it upon himself to construct a sophisticated die, which was pneumatically run. Through the years, that same die has been improved upon several times.

Claw International manufactures one product only, "THE CLAW™". Claw International has virtually no competition because of its patented design, double strength clip portion with three teeth.
