About OBEX
The OBEX Story
OBEX Protection Ltd specialises in the manufacture and distribution of innovative protection films and membrane solutions for the construction industry.
The company was founded in Worcester UK by the Francis family in January 2010 and has since become the global leader in fire-rated membrane innovation for the window and façade industry.
In the early years, OBEX focused on the production of protection tapes and films for the window manufacturing industry, building a reputation for quality products backed by an excellent service.
In 2013, OBEX received ISO 9001 certification. We also opened our Australian office, shipping product from the UK to supply the growing demand in Australasia.
Two years later in 2015 we opened our French division, where the SPEEDSTER taping system proved to be very popular.
It was during 2015 that OBEX took the step of diversification into the production of EPDM membranes, quickly becoming a key supplier of membranes and associated products to the construction industry. Over the next few months, the rapidly increasing demand for OBEX products required investment in state-of-the-art machinery, including sending the first slitting machine out to Australia.
One of the most significant innovations in the history of OBEX has been the development of our OBEX CORTEX fire-rated membrane systems. This has become a real game-changer for the construction industry for two reasons:
- Firstly, architects, contractors and installers now have a source for façade membrane systems that are not only compliant with the government’s fire-regulations but, importantly, are also rigorously tested to the correct EN standards for performance.
- Secondly, they also have access to our expertise in correct product specification, correct installation procedures and compatibility data, as well as a free site-support provision for install training and QA reporting.
July 2020 saw us relocate to our brand new 27,500 sq.ft. premises, providing space for greater stock holding, a new R&D zone and a great environment for the OBEX team.
Today, OBEX Protection continues its rapid growth, based on a strong commitment to innovation, quality and service, backed by a culture of openness, honesty and fairness.
We look forward to working with you, so that together, we can play a key part in protecting and enhancing the buildings of the future.
