While the cream of Great Britain’s athletes are showing the world how good they are, the country’s hand-picked innovations will be doing the same – and the iconic Gripple will be one of them!

The Gripple, the worldwide market leading wire joiner and tensioner made in Sheffield by Gripple Limited, has beaten off competition from hundreds of UK companies wanting to take part in the Make it in Great Britain exhibition. The exhibition is the culmination of the Make it in Great Britain campaign, which aims to transform the image of modern manufacturing.

It will now ‘rub shoulders’ with some of the nation’s most accomplished and celebrated companies in the Make it Stronger section at London’s Science Museum in the Make it in Great Britain exhibition which runs from July until September. At the exhibition, the Gripple will be in very good company - McLaren F1, Airbus, BAE Systems, Coca Cola and many more!

Mark Edmonds, Gripple’s managing director, said: “Innovation remains at the core of our business and the Gripple continues to evolve to suit an expanding range of ground breaking applications. We are so proud to be chosen as one of the country’s leading innovations, especially in such a momentous year for the country.”
