World famous for raising the bar in safety, Charles Owen is a leading British manufacturer of riding helmets. When Charles Owen himself founded the company in 1911, his mission was to make products for a safer world. Now under the direction of Charles Owen's great-grandson, the mission has remained the same, but has extended its reach to all parts of the globe.All of our products are manufactured in our state of the art factory in North Wales. Inside the huge space, workers are organised into small teams that create the product from start to finish. Quality is paramount, as any small error could cause a life threatening defect. Getting it right the first time, every time is the mantra of the production team. With many companies finding it increasingly difficult to manufacture in Great Britain, Charles Owen has bucked the trend and announced its exciting expansion programme that includes the construction of an impressive new warehouse. In 2011 Charles Owen celebrated its centenary by creating the largest equestrian helmet manufacturer in the UK. The expansion enables the company to continue to grow its business globally, as the already internationally recognised brand exports nearly 70% of its British made products worldwide. The now 80,000 square foot premises are situated on Croesfoel Industrial Park, Wrexham.Remember, if it says Charles Owen on the inside, then its made in the UK.
