buying british

[Steve Bullman]

Fletcher Stewart came first. They launched the Stein brand a year or so ago and distribute it worldwide. Stein USA is their US branch

[WorcsWuss]

Groovy, so Stein is actually 'all British'....

Deserves my support then!

[arbmark]

apologies for the xenophobic thread but blundering on....its not just about nationaltiy, infact hardly at all for me its more about freight miles and keeping money in the uk economy......

so we've got DMM (wales i think), At least some petzl and, almost certainly stein, assuming worcs' cider fuelled leaps of logic arent leading us astray.

any more? or is the fact that the brands out-sourrce to different countries to get their products made going to thwart me in my plans to go native, as borntotrot put it:thumbup1:

Clark Forest have have a certain amount of stuff they make themselves. Certainly more so in their forestry department than arb maybe

[TRADITIONAL LOGGERS]

No British chainsaws...........

Going into the bigger more expensive gear Greenmech is British.

I bought a Petzl belay device that had make in UK on it.

 

Made by DMM in Llanberis North Wales.

Apparently stuff that is made in the uk is good for the economy, even things like the mini(german) (oxford) some nissan stuff (sunderland) if it's made here then your keeping jobs in the uk and the relevant offshoot stuff that is associated.

 

Please tell me if it isn't good!
