List of products by brand ALLEN

The British brand for lightweight sailing fittings

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

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

Since the company's birth, the offices and production plant have been located in Southminster, Essex in the UK.

In 2018, ALLEN modernized its machining center and invested in new production planning software to improve efficiency and customer service. This enables ALLEN to meet boatbuilders' demands for high quality, moderate cost despite relative production volumes, whether for catalog or custom products.

ALLEN draws inspiration from its many partnerships with the racing elite of the "TEAM ALLEN", in the British team but also many racers on the European circuit, particularly in high-performance Olympic categories such as the 49er or Nacra 17 to 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.
