Addis Office Supplies

From Kitchen Essentials to Colour Coded Waste Management perfect for homes or offices, Addis supplies the very best Housewares with a 240 Year Old History of Design and Innovation.

Addis was founded in 1780 by an English Entrepreneur who was sent to prison for causing a riot. It was here that William Addis experimented with animal bones and bristles to create the world’s first toothbrush. After his release, he would go on to manufacture toothbrushes which were mass produced in England, France, Germany and Japan. After supplying the troops in World War One with toothbrushes and encouraging a national habit of teeth cleaning, Addis would go on to become a household name in cleaning products.

In 1980, Addis celebrated its bicentennial under Robert Addis, the 6th generation son after their founder. In 2016, Addis was listed as one of the 1000 companies to inspire under the London Stock Exchange Group and is only one of 25 companies from Wales to achieve this status and global recognition. Addis constantly builds on their 240 years of history to provide essential houseware and cleaning products that transform offices, businesses, schools and homes across the world.

More About Addis

Addis has come a long way since the development of the first toothbrush. After purchasing the production premises in Hertford, Addis was supplying Boots with a straight handled, well valued toothbrush which retailed at 1s (in today’s money this is 5p). William, the founder, died in 1808 and left the business to his eldest son and it stayed in family ownership since 1996. Today, they have evolved to become a leading household brand that supplies high quality cleaning products and organisational solutions to all sorts of industries across the world.
