Earlex Limited was incorporated in 1987 on the back of just one product, the world's first DIY steam wallpaper stripper (the SS100) which has gone from strength to strength and is still in production. Earlex soon established a complete new category of decorating power tools and despite intense competition over the years Earlex has stayed as market and brand leader. By the autumn of 2003 the company was celebrating the sale of its five millionth wallpaper stripper. Since incorporation Earlex has expanded the DIY and professional market for decorating power tools and power cleaning products; driven by a desire to innovate and develop feature-packed products at new competitive price points to fuel the company's growth. Unique, reliable, safe and affordable - these have been the watchwords of Earlex's success in the past and they will continue to be so.
Innovation- Our commitment to innovation is not only evident in our product designs. In recent years we have radically altered the way in which we manufacture. Scrutinising efficiency and questioning how and why we work in certain ways has led to the introduction of lean manufacturing principles. The subsequent streamlining of our production lines has made the business much more efficient, simplifying stock control, reducing component storage requirements but, most importantly, allowing us to respond much faster and more effectively to our customers' needs. When it comes to design, Earlex is a company that is never satisfied. We combine skillful in-house engineering with input from consultants who constantly tell us we are their most demanding client. And why not? Our customers are demanding and we have a reputation to protect and an ambition to be the best. Our credibility is built on products that get the job done more safely, quicker and with less mess and less hassle than any others.
