Allen Brothers

The Allen brothers, Tony and Glen, started their business with a vision of performance sailing hardware driven by innovation and technology. The first products they produced for their own race boats were such an improvement on everything then in use, customers demanded they set up production to meet the market. Those principles still hold true and the company has grown in the past 60 plus years to become a major exporter, selling high-performance sailing hardware to the World. This concentration on design meant tooling often had to be produced in-house and the vast majority of research, design, prototyping, tooling and production still takes place at the Allen factory in Southminster, Essex, UK.
