For the past 36 years, Gratnells have led the field in educational storage systems.
We've picked up some prestigous awards along the way.
Like our Worlddidac Award in 1992 for our tray design that's at the heart of our ever-expanding product range. Or our Educational Supplier of the Year Award (UK) in 2007.
From our humble beginnings in 1940, our Harlow factory in the UK now boasts one of the most advanced plastic injection moulding methods in operation today.
But even though we're a worldwide operation, producing nearly three million trays every year supplying over 40 countries, we're still very much a family firm. (Our two main directors are pictured below.)

Which means that when you need to talk to someone about the Gratnells range of products, you're never far away from the people who have the knowledge and experience to help you get the best from our storage systems.
Our logo may be blue. But our ethos is very green.
At Gratnells, we take our environmental responsibilities seriously. Our recycling policy is being continually improved, and at present includes:
* recycling all broken or damaged red, blue, green and yellow trays
* recycling all waste cardboard, including paper storage sacks
* recycling polystyrene and metal waste
* recycling or reusing all wooden pallets
* recycling all metal paint spray waste
What's more, we work in partnership with the Carbon Trust to continuously improve our carbon footprint. And all our trays carry the Polypropylene Recyclable mark. |

So when you buy a Gratnells storage product, you know that you're not just dealing with someone who cares about the classroom. We care about the planet, too.
