Innovation is
so much more
than a simple
buzzword; it’s
the foundation
of our culture
Hugh Facey
When the original Gripple device was conceived, as a solution for joining and tensioning fence wires, no-one could have predicted that this would lead to the radical approach of using wire rope hangers, which has become the benchmark, for quick and easy methods of hanging mechanical, electrical, HVAC and plumbing services.
As a result of this revolution, Gripple introduced an entirely new way of working to the industrial sector; load-rated
hanger kits quickly proved perfect for ducting, cable containment, lighting, piping, false ceilings, signage...
Driven by a problem-solving attitude and determination to innovate, the product range has expanded, offering customers a vast array of revolutionary suspension methods.
Not only have Gripple’s versatile products brought speed, improved site safety and best practice efficiency savings to the
installation process, the company also prides itself on providing bespoke hanging solutions and next day site delivery.
Moreover, personal consultations are always available, and Gripple strives continually to provide the best resolutions for specific needs. As a consequence, our capabilities are now recognised, admired and trusted worldwide.
Gripple introduced emphatic change to the building services market in the late 1990s, with a fresh and alternative means of suspension.
OVERVIEW
“Gripple has always appreciated the importance of sustainability, pledging in an environmental policy statement to identify risks, prevent pollution, comply with the relevant legislation and improve its environmental performance overall.”
Customers can be confident that the company has minimised, as far as possible, its environmental impact during product design and manufacture, and believe that they and their applications can play a fundamental part in achieving their own sustainability objectives.
Gripple products have reduced significantly the quantity of steel used on a given project. By replacing traditional threaded rod installations with Gripple hangers, steel consumption is reduced by up to 95%.
In other words, for each tonne of rod used, Gripple wire rope hangers can achieve the same results, but potentially weigh as little as 50 kg.
Moreover, fewer vehicle movements mean lower transportation costs and emissions and, because they are lighter and easier to carry, accidents during handling and installation are also reduced.
As a manufacturer, Gripple recognises its responsibility to minimise the company’s impact on the planet.
Therefore, we constantly maximise our energy efficiency, decrease electricity use, reduce landfill / incinerated waste, increase recycling, conserve our raw materials’ use and minimise packaging.
We also integrate sustainability into our design process, which is epitomised by the impressive fact that a Gripple hanger today uses 30% less zinc than the original design, without compromising its strength or functionality.

A Global Family From Sheffield to the wider world
An extensive range of innovative products is produced in state-of-the-art facilities in Sheffield, a city with a rich manufacturing history.
On sites in the city’s Don Valley - The Old West Gun Works, a former gun barrel plant, and the modern, purpose-built Riverside - this tradition is maintained to reflect the strong heritage that characterises the city.
The company’s enviable growth has also demanded the establishment of other company ‘homes’. Gripple Europe’s base nestles in the Alsace region of France, and the US division, Gripple Inc, operates out of Chicago.
Firm relationships are maintained with many distributors, to whom Gripple products are supplied to ship to construction sites around the world.
Gripple’s core ethos and values permeate each of the company’s employees, who work as a team to ensure that the highest quality goods are delivered to all destinations.
A spirit of creativity and innovation has allowed Gripple to reach where it is today and by keeping this alive, game-changing solutions will continue to be provided far into the future.A spirit of creativity and innovation has
