Allsop is more than just a 44 year old family business, it’s an ideal, connecting the points between professionalism, invention and amazing people. They’re always pushing the envelope and striving toward the concept of “patented ingenuity” within the context of their unique team culture. The Allsop family has been building consumer product companies and products since 1965 when founder, Ivor “Buss” Allsop invented the Ski-Boot.

Two of Ivor’s children, Mike and Jim, led the family into the consumer electronics business with the introduction of the mechanized cassette deck cleaner in the 1970s. During the 1980s and 1990s, the family businesses had expanded and Allsop became a global company with the establishment of Allsop Europe in Waterford, Ireland. Recently, the family has established a wholly owned office in Shanghai.

Throughout the years, the family has had a tradition of bringing on-board a team of hundreds, if not thousands, of wonderful people over the decades. The Allsop family has been blessed to have hired some of the most interesting, creative, thoughtful and inspiring teammates all over the world. They could never have survived and prospered without their “extended family” and they strongly believe that being a family business without private equity or Wall Street involved allows them to connect and foster a culture with their customers in a more “real” way.
