The British brand for lightweight sailing fittings

The Allen brothers, Tony and Glenn, set up their company in 1956, initially under the name HOLT ALLEN, which became ALLEN in 2008. Their aim was to create innovative, high-performance lightweight performance sailing hardware. The products, which were highly innovative for their time, quickly met with success, prompting the brand to develop its range of products for the boating sector, which was then booming.

Since then, the company has retained this taste for innovation and performance, enabling it to distribute its products all over the world. This demand for innovation led to the development of its own design, prototyping and production tools to meet the growing demand. ALLEN has been a pioneer in the field of computer-aided manufacturing and 3D printing for rapid prototyping of parts since 2010.

Since the company was founded, the offices and production plant have been located in Southminster, Essex in the UK.

In 2018, ALLEN upgraded its machining centre and invested in new production planning software to improve efficiency and customer service. This enables ALLEN to meet the demands of boatbuilders for high quality, low cost despite relative production volumes, whether for catalogue or custom products.

ALLEN draws inspiration from its many partnerships with the elite racers of the "TEAM ALLEN", in the British team but also many racers on the European circuit, particularly in the high performance Olympic categories such as the 49er or the Nacra 17 in Foil. This collaboration enables ALLEN to constantly improve its products, both in terms of performance and reliability, with the constant concern to keep products accessible to all.
