OUR HISTORY

Founded in Accrington, Lancashire during 1864, we began under the name Entwisle & Kenyon Limited manufacturing water meters; we later moved on to producing manual washing machines and mangles.

In 1889, our first Ewbank sweeper was sold, designed by Richard Walter Kenyon. It soon became the most popular product of its type in Britain and carpet sweeping became known as ‘ewbanking’.

After World War II, we became a major manufacturer of floor care products selling shampooers, mangles, ladders and many more to both the UK and internationally. Today, we deliver a diverse collection of home cleaning equipment that has been created to combine design, performance and reliability.
