Microfacture | Designed and made by Alpkit | Equipment for Adventure
We're bringing production back to the UK - but it won't happen overnight! In 2012 we decided to manufacture in the UK, we grabbed the repair guys and sat them down at an old sewing machine that regularly ate sleeves. We could do it, but we needed some management - we hired Anna and she helped set up the factory initially before travelling round the world. Ben took the reigns and it has grown from there. Our range is ever expanding as our skills and staff grow, you will find all the products we make in house below along with Alpkit's homegrown creations. We love a challenge - so if you have an idea for that new piece of kit or want something changed then give us a ring on 01773 417 007
