Hook
Did you know that using normal detergent on your waterproof jacket can permanently destroy its breathability – and that Grangers has been fixing that mistake for almost 90 years? As part of inspiring European consumers to buy local for a sustainable Europe…
Brand Intro
Founded in 1937 and still 100% manufactured at its own factory in Alfreton, Derbyshire, Grangers remains Britain’s original specialist in high-performance, environmentally-responsible clothing and footwear care.
Inspiring Story
From a small operation supplying waterproofing to British workers before WWII, Grangers outgrew its Watford site and moved north to a purpose-built facility in Derbyshire in the 1990s. In 2007 they became the world’s first aftercare brand to achieve bluesign® system partner status, and in 2020 they removed PFAS from every single product – years ahead of legislation. Every bottle is still filled on the same site today, using 100% post-consumer recycled plastic.
Why Buy This?
Choosing Grangers means genuine British manufacturing, a carbon footprint 60–80 % lower than Far East alternatives, and aftercare that actually extends the life of your expensive kit instead of slowly destroying it. Better for your gear, better for jobs here, better for the planet.
