Earlex
Company Information
Earlex Limited was incorporated in 1987 on the back of one product, the world's first DIY steam wallpaper stripper. This has gone from strength to strength and established a complete new category of decorating power tools and despite intense competition over the years, Earlex has stayed as market and brand leader.
Now, not just in the UK but throughout Europe and more recently has moved into the USA. Over 6.5 million wallpapers strippers have been sold in that time. In addition to this Earlex has driven paint spraying equipment into the DIY market and recently has celebrated selling over 1 million HVLP (high volume low pressure) Spray Stations.
Since incorporation Earlex has expanded the DIY and professional markets for decorating power tools and power cleaning products, driven by a desire to design and develop feature packed products at new competitive price points to fuel the company's growth and supply products that are reliable, safe and affordable - these have been the watchwords of Earlex's success in the past and will continue to be so.
Innovation
Their commitment to innovation is not only evident in their product designs. In recent years they have radically altered the way in which they manufacture.
Scrutinising efficiency and questioning how and why they work in certain ways has led to the introduction of lean manufacturing principles. The subsequent streamlining of their production lines has made the business much more efficient, simplifying stock control, reducing component storage requirements but, most importantly, allowing them to respond much faster and more effectively to their customers' needs.
When it comes to design, Earlex is a company that is never satisfied. They combine skillful in-house engineering with input from consultants.
Their customers are demanding and they have a reputation to protect an ambition to be the best. Their credibility is built on products that get the job done more safely, quicker and with less mess and less hassle than any others.
