Who are the brand Vango?

Vango was established in the West of Scotland in 1966 and the company remains based at the gateway to the spectacular Scottish Highlands in the company’s headquarters in Port Glasgow. Vango makes tents and equipment for families to camp in comfort, adventurers to go light and wild, and for mountaineers to survive in extreme conditions. From campsite to summit, from the trail to mountain, Vango products allow everyone to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. Every tent, rucksack, sleeping bag and accessory has been designed by genuine outdoor enthusiasts resulting in gear packed full of experience that epitomises the Vango ethos of reliability, quality, innovation, design and usability. Vango has a long and memorable history in designing and manufacturing outdoor equipment. From pioneering AirBeam® tent technology in 2011 to sending a tent into space in 2012 to rolling our AirBeam® technology into a range of AirAway™ drive-away awnings and AirAwnings™ for campervans, caravans and motorhomes. Vango has always been at the forefront of cutting-edge design and innovation and this year they celebrated 10 years of AirBeam®, releasing S.I Pro single point inflation into AirBeam® technology Vango are no strangers to striving for greater sustainability and have been pro-actively doing so for over a decade. Our Spares and Repairs Service refurbishes your outdoor gear to give it a second life of adventure. Where anything is beyond repair, all component parts are recycled for use in future repairs, as well as upcycling as much of the remaining fabrics as possible, dramatically reducing landfill. This includes tent fabrics and sleeping bag fillings being donated to Sheltersuit UK, to be upcycled into immediate shelter for the homeless. Our sustainability ethos has reached new heights this year with the launch of the new Earth Collection of tents, rucksacks, chairs and sleeping bags, which have been produced using environmentally friendly fabric crafted from recycled single use plastics. The Earth Collection in 2022 will recycle plastic waste equivalent to 1,861,134 plastic bottles (500ml) this year, and in a sneak peek into 2022 plans, growing to the equivalent of 8,250,000 plastic bottles (500ml). As part of Vango’s wider ‘Spirit of Sustainability’ campaign, the brand has partnered up with the University of Glasgow on a new study to outline Scotland’s core costal sites that are under threat due to climate change. The study aims to show the impact on key sites such as Glospie Links, Lunan Bay and the beaches of South Coll. By sharing this knowledge, Vango hope to shine a spotlight on concerns over Scotland’s outdoor spaces and the impact of costal erosion.
