Nikwax TX.Direct Wash-In waterproof treatment

Nikwax is a leading brand in the outdoor industry, specifically known for its high-performance waterproofing and cleaning solutions for gear and apparel. Founded in 1977 by Nick Brown, who developed his first waterproofing wax for leather boots in his London kitchen, the brand has grown into a global leader in PFC-free aftercare products.

The product shown in the image is manufactured in the United Kingdom, specifically at the Nikwax production facility in Wadhurst, East Sussex. Nikwax is renowned for its commitment to environmental sustainability, being one of the first companies in its sector to eliminate the use of harmful fluorocarbons and aerosols from its product line.

In a significant transition in early 2022, Nick Brown sold the company to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT). This means the company is now legally owned by its employees, ensuring its independence and long-term commitment to its founding environmental values and UK-based manufacturing operations.
