Ebac believes it’s important to manufacture products we consume in the UK. There are many economic, consumer, ethical and environmental benefits.
Every Ebac product is
made in the UK

The Economic benefits of UK manufacturing
Every time we buy a product from another country, our currency ‘leaks’ into the other countries economy – making it stronger and ours weaker. For some products like bananas – it’s unavoidable. For others – like washing machines and dehumidifiers we should be manufacturing in the UK. Ebac’s support of UK manufacturing is not political – it’s just very practical and economically based.
Consumer benefits of UK manufacturing
Consumer preferences vary enormously around the world. Large Asian exporters tend to make one product that they ship around the world – the same configuration and specification regardless of the individual requirements of that country. UK focused manufacturers can tailor a product to the specific requirements of the UK market.
Environmental benefits
Ethical benefits
The carbon footprint created by shipping prodcuts from other countries to the UK is quite suprising. If we take a washing machine for example. A washing machines weighs around 90kg. Shipping that from Turkey, China or Poland has up to 10x the carbon omissions compared to a Washing machine made in County Durham.
