Aaron Travell from Knox interviews Jim Lindsay of Bike Social regarding his UK manufacturing articles that he will be producing over the coming weeks on Knox and other UK manufacturers. The discussion covers many elements of UK manufacturing.

At Knox we believe our UK manufacturing adds real value to customers for 3 main reasons.

INNOVATION

We have the in-house skills to design, develop and actually make new cutting edge products. Examples of this innovation would be our new layering system; a brand new innovation in motorcycle clothing including a revolutionary dual fitting clothing system in our outer garments, that changes the way that motorcyclists wear their clothing.

QUALITY

Our UK manufacturing means that we keep a close eye on the quality every day. By applying efficient LEAN manufacturing principles we also make in much smaller batches than Far Eastern manufacturers, meaning that we can control quality to a much closer level and also if there becomes a problem, we can fix it very quickly rather than flooding the market with products that are not quite right.

SPEED TO RESPOND

Our UK manufacturing means that we are quick to develop or improve products. An example of this would be our Zephyr jacket, the perfect summer riding jacket, which is made in the UK and is the result of many requests.

We are also now able to offer an alteration service for the new denim jean collection and also a quick repair service if it is needed.
Overall, we feel that UK manufacturing helps give Knox an edge and improved service for riders and therefore, irrespective of the cost and hard work to operate it, we are incredibly proud to have it.
