30 Years of the Gorilla Tub® – And Why It Still Makes You Money
Cast your mind back to 1995. Oasis was blaring, the high street still had Woolworths, and Red Gorilla® decided builders and equestrians deserved better than brittle buckets and tubs that split after five minutes. The Tubtrug® was born, and the rest is history. Fast-forward 30 years and the Gorilla Tub® isn’t just surviving — it’s still leading the pack. It’s been copied, knocked-off, and undercut, but never bettered. Why? Because it just works. And because Red Gorilla® hasn’t stopped innovating, investing, and pushing the brand forward. So here’s the big question: if you’re a reseller, what’s in it for you?
A Product That Shouts From the Shelf Builders don’t want gimmicks. They want gear that works, simple as that. Gorilla Tubs® are built from tough LDPE, fully recyclable, and stamped with our logo sampled straight into the material so buyers know it’s the real deal. That alone makes them stand out against the cheapo tat. Add bold colours and POS that “shelf shouts” and suddenly you’ve got product that shifts itself. And it’s not just tubs anymore.
• The Red Gorilla Versatile® Spot Board and Stand launched last year and is already becoming a site essential.

• The Gorilla Brush is this year’s winner - tested by actual trades who said it knocks wooden brushes into the skip. Bristles that don’t fall out, no mouldy handles, just a brush that works.
Innovative, simple, and bang on the money.
Products that make sense on site also make sense on your shelf.
Investment That Secures the Supply Chain We’re not a one-site wonder. We’ve put serious investment into our infrastructure:
Centrally located UK headquarters and
warehouse in Leicestershire, with a permanent showroom (and yes, the kettle’s always on). Production facilities in both the UK and Spain, keeping the supply chain tight, steady, and Brexit-proof. Warehousing and offices in Spain and the USA, giving us a global footprint and backup stock to support demand.
That means less risk of back orders and happier customers for you.
Huge Stocks, Fast Supply
Nothing kills sales like waiting. That’s why we carry huge stock levels so you don’t have to. Lead times are kept to a minimum, so you can keep shelves full and tills ticking over.
