Published 25th September 2017

RAWLPLUG® is one of the world's leading manufacturers of specialist anchoring and fixing systems, used in construction, industrial and retail markets, with nearly 100 years of industry experience.

The RAWLPLUG® brand has been synonymous with innovation, reliability and safety in the development and manufacture of construction anchors and fixing products.

Since 1911, when John Rawlings invented and filed an application to patent the world's first wall plug, the history of fixings has been inextricably linked with the RAWLPLUG® brand. Following the tremendous success of this revolutionary product in Europe, the RAWLPLUG® Company was founded in 1919 and quickly became renowned across the world for its innovative and reliable fixings.

Over the years, a small family company became an international organisation whose power is reflected in 13 companies on four continents, over 1.900 employees and almost 30.000 lines making up our diverse range of products.

The Group's present-day know-how is a synergy of knowledge and experience based on the best practices of its subsidiaries whose main activity is developing innovative solutions in the field of fixing technologies, including their design, production and distribution.
