Gripit presents as a simple method of fixing heavy stuff to plasterboard through its ease of use and high performance compared to similar products on the market. By using four colours to distinguish the strength of individual fixings to make life so much easier for tradespeople and DIYers Gripit makes life simple, the strongest being Blue though Brown and Red to the less strong Yellow fixings. Gripfit Rhinofix are the strongest, holding up to 150kgs.

The Gripit Plasterboard Fixing was invented in 2008. Many DIYers had been trying to hang a curtain rails in bedrooms and across the home but struggled to find a plasterboard fixing which could do the job, despite numerous attempts. By 2012, with a product tested, refined and the patent secured, the first Gripit order from a national retailer was received.

In 2014, the youngest person at the age 18 secured an investment through BBC’s Dragons Den. Although having no background herself in the DIY/Trade sector, Deborah Meaden spotted Gripit solved a real problem at a price which made it very competitive.

Furthermore, she was investing in a young inventor who not only was able to come up with ideas but was willing and capable of turning them into a practical reality.

Meaden’s investment, together with two very successful crowd funding campaigns, moved the business into a brand new 20,000 square foot premises in the Wiltshire countryside. This enabled manufacturing, distribution, and administration to be kept together under one roof.

GRIPIT IS NOW AVAILABLE IN 5,000+ NATIONAL AND INDEPENDENT TRADE & DIY STORES ACROSS THE UK, AS WELL AS THE US, CANADA, EUROPE, UAE, AUSTRALIA AND NEW ZEALAND.
