We Take Our Made in Britain Status Seriously

As a proudly UK-owned and operated company, Harvst is committed to supporting local manufacturing and sustainability. The Made in Britain mark is a symbol of quality, craftsmanship, and a dedication to supporting the UK economy, and for Harvst, this mark represents much more than just a stamp of origin.

What is the Made in Britain Mark?

The Made in Britain mark is a recognised certification that assures consumers that a product has been designed, manufactured, and assembled within the UK. It signifies that a company has met stringent requirements to qualify, particularly that 100% of the labour for the finished product takes place in the UK.

While this standard is a strong commitment to British industry, Harvst goes even further. For us, this is not just about meeting the minimum requirements of the certification, but about setting a higher benchmark for ourselves and the products we offer.

Why the Made in Britain Mark Matters to Harvst

At Harvst, we believe that the quality and integrity of our products are directly connected to where and how they are made. The Made in Britain mark is important for several reasons:

• Supporting British Industry: By sourcing components and manufacturing within the UK, we contribute to the local economy, create jobs, and support British businesses. This is particularly important in today’s global economy, where outsourcing is common, and many companies look abroad for cheaper (and often lower quality) production.
• Environmental Responsibility: Producing as much as possible within the UK reduces our carbon footprint. By cutting down on international shipping, we lower emissions and reduce the environmental impact of our operations. We believe that a sustainable approach to business is essential, and part of that commitment is making responsible choices about where and how our products are made.
• Ensuring High-Quality Standards: British manufacturing is renowned for its high standards of craftsmanship, innovation, and attention to detail. By sourcing and producing locally, we can maintain tighter control over the quality of our products. This ensures that Harvst customers receive products that are not only well-designed but built to last.

Going Beyond the Certification: Harvst’s Commitment to UK Manufacturing

While the Made in Britain mark certifies that 100% of labour takes place within the UK, Harvst goes beyond this by striving to ensure that as many of our components as possible are also manufactured in the UK. This approach requires careful selection of suppliers and a commitment to building strong relationships with local manufacturers.

For example, our smart garden systems incorporate components like electronics, materials, and even packaging sourced from UK-based businesses. We manufacture our H-Series Indoor Gardens using materials sourced in the UK and cut using CNC machines just a mile from our production facility. The aluminium for our S-Series Smart Mini Greenhouses is extruded in the UK, and our WaterMate Irrigation System’s control boxes are made locally as well. This adds an extra layer of assurance that our products truly embody the values of local production and sustainability.

When customers purchase a Harvst product, they can do so with the confidence that they are supporting British craftsmanship, local jobs, and a more sustainable future.
