Our manufacturers: Granger’s

Granger’s is a technology-based company specialising in cleaning and waterproofing products that protect and restore your outdoor gear. Established in 1937, Granger’s became the first company to produce environment-friendly water-based waterproofing. The principle of producing ecologically sound, high performance treatments continues to this day. The proofing technologies replicate the water-repellency applied to boots, garments and equipment when they were new. You’re just re-applying the original treatment, so your gear works better for longer. As Granger’s like to put it: Original Performance Restored.
Granger’s aftercare products are all manufactured in the UK from our plant in Alfreton, Derbyshire. The majority of our products are water based. In Trail Magazine’s 2006 tests undertaken by Leeds University Performance Clothing Research Group, Granger’s products came out top in performance and durability. That’s because Granger’s proofing technologies replicate the water-repellency applied by fabric manufacturers, so using Granger’s just restores the original treatment. In 2006 Granger’s was also awarded certification under the ISO 14001 Environmental Management standard, independent confirmation that Granger’s products and processes conform to the highest environmental principles. No other U.K aftercare company has attained ISO 14001. Granger's is also proud to be a bluesign® Sytem Partner. bluesign is the world’s only benchmark that guarantees products are free from harmful substances. Based in Switzerland, the independent bluesign organisation was set up to meet the demand for rating products that are environmentally friendly, pose no health hazards and conserve resources to the greatest possible extent. Existing supporters and partners with bluesign include Patagonia, MEC (Mountain Equipment Co-op), Nike, Vaude, M&S & Schoeller fabrics. Granger's developed the first environmentally friendly water based proofing treatments over 40 years ago and has continued to be at the forefront in producting the best and most environmentally responsible aftercare products on the market. Granger's is the first, and so far the only, company to have both ISO 14001 accreditation and be a bluesign® system partner. All our wash in cleaners and proofers are designed to be used at temperatures down to 30°C saving 40% in electricity and because our products last longer there is less need to proof your garments as often.
