On-Site Visit to Ebac

Ebac Group is the UK’s only manufacturer of washing machines and Europe's leading manufacturer of bottled watercoolers and domestic dehumidifiers. Join us on this behind the scenes visit to find out more about the story behind their success.

Founded over 50 years ago by John Elliott MBE DL, Ebac is still privately owned and now employs over 200 people with a turnover in excess of £20 million. As market leaders of water coolers and dehumidifiers in the UK and Europe, Ebac puts its achievements down to an unwavering commitment to quality and innovation across the business.

Passionate about British manufacturing, for the past five decades, Ebac has continued to expand its operations in the North East when others have moved their production facilities elsewhere.

Hear Ebac’s growth journey first-hand as John explains their decision to invest locally and how they are ensuring the business will deliver long-term sustainable employment for the people of the North East. You’ll also be taken on a tour of the facility, seeing the innovation that allows them to produce a water cooler every three minutes.
