For over a century and a half, Olleys have pioneered the use of Cork.

Today, Olleys based in Mildenhall Suffolk produce some of the most advanced cork based materials on the market and the most comprehensive and versatile range in the United Kingdom. It includes structures for acoustic anti-vibration, fire retardent, insulation, clutch, gasket, seal and expansion jointing applications for both traditional and high-performance products alike.

The Olley closure was first developed by Chas Olley in 1844 and used extensively in both jugs, barrels and bottles. However applications such as roofing came later, cork for this application has been used all over the world. It was one of the first successful natural, automatically renewable materials.

When, at the turn of the century the company took this development a stage further with the addition of laminates, the result was hailed by architects and specifiers alike as a substantial break-through in the application of natural renewable environmentally friendly materials. To this day, the products developed by Olley Cork are highly regarded as their continued use indicates.
