Ewbank Carpet Sweeper

Ewbank is a historic British brand that became a household name for its innovative floor cleaning solutions. Founded in the late 19th century in Accrington, Lancashire, the company gained global fame for its mechanical carpet sweepers, which provided an efficient, electricity-free alternative to traditional brooms and early vacuum cleaners. For over a century, the brand was synonymous with British domestic engineering and was a staple in UK homes.

In the modern era, while the brand maintains its British heritage and design roots, the manufacturing of its products has largely transitioned to international facilities, primarily in China, to meet global distribution needs. Despite these changes in production location, the brand continues to focus on its core identity of functional and durable cleaning tools.

Today, Ewbank is owned by Messrs Ewbank Limited, a company directed by the Ewbank family, specifically Stephen Thomas Ewbank. This ownership reflects a return to its independent roots following various corporate transitions over the decades. The company continues to operate out of the United Kingdom, specifically based in North Yorkshire, ensuring the brand remains under British stewardship.
