Gripple Ltd

Engineering game-changing solutions is what Gripple does best. The original innovator and manufacturer of wire joining and tensioning devices, as well as anchoring, bracing and suspension systems that have revolutionised many industries, its mission is clear: to help customers do more with less. With continued efforts to drive efficiency in the markets it serves, this is the sixth time Gripple products and systems have been recognised in the Queen or King’s Awards for Enterprise, and the third time for Innovation. Its commitment to improving customers’ lives with simple, engineered solutions is unwavering. Changing the game Revolutionising the speed at which construction projects can be delivered, Gripple is committed to delivering solutions that benefit the built environment. Fast Trak, its innovative pre- fabricated bracket system recognised by this award is one of those solutions. Used to suspend mechanical and electrical services in construction applications, Fast Trak allows for easier, faster and safer installation versus traditional rod and strut, contributing to significant time savings across large-scale construction projects. Designed by engineers, for engineers, Fast Trak makes a real difference, helping customers achieve more with less effort, cost and environmental impact. Product Led. People Powered With more than 900 employee-owners globally, Gripple does things differently. Being 100% employee-owned promotes a culture of innovation and creativity, where people are inspired to design, manufacture and deliver better solutions. Solving real-world problems, Gripple challenges its people to think outside the box, using decades of engineering experience to deliver efficient, sustainable solutions that have a positive impact on customers’ everyday jobs. A force for good With a manufacturing and distribution footprint spanning 85 countries worldwide, including seven manufacturing sites in South Yorkshire, Gripple is a truly global business. Yet it takes a local approach to business, ensuring it is a force for good, positively impacting the communities it operates in. PlanetMark and B-Corp certified, it meets the highest standards of social and environmental performance. With sustainability at the heart of this commitment, its latest progress report in its ‘Journey to Climate Positive’ outlined a significant milestone for the company as it achieved carbon neutrality across its UK operations. With its targets now set on achieving net zero by 2030, sustainability is a core theme of its long-term strategy.
