Allen Brothers is looking forward to returning to Metstrade 2026 and rounding off a landmark year for the company. This year marks our 70th anniversary and the transition of ownership to the third generation of the Allen family.

Visitors to our stand will get an early look at several new products, including the A-Splicer range, 15mm Blocks, expanded High Roller Blocks, and the new 60mm Flip Flop Ratchet Blocks. We will also be showcasing a growing range of spar fittings, developed to support our expanding mast and boom programme for dinghies and small keelboats.

Our team, including Richard Allen, Ben Harden, Nic Tolhurst and Simon Potts, will be on hand throughout the show to meet customers, discuss new projects, and explore distribution opportunities in growing regions.

New Product Highlights

A-Splicer: A new range of pull fids designed for ropes from 1-5mm, making splicing quicker, easier and more reliable. Available in both professional fixed-handle versions and a versatile interchangeable aluminium handle system.

High Roller Blocks: Our premium high-load block range continues to grow, with new double and triple configurations and a compact 45mm version joining the range. Designed for low friction, high performance and easy servicing.

Flip Flop Ratchet Blocks: New 60mm ratchet blocks featuring aluminium sheaves and a unique 180° rotating housing. Available in both manual and automatic ratchet versions.

Alongside these launches, visitors can also explore our latest sheave boxes, deck bushes, spar fittings and other recent product developments.
