Ebble.Shop is a central resource for the Ebble Group of companies which includes surface treatment equipment manufacturer Tantec along with contract treatment and manufacturing company Ebble Manufacturing.
Ebble.Shop allows you to buy common test products like Dyne Pens and Dyne Inks quickly and easily, but also gives you a place to book in for surface energy lab work, book production slots and book on to training courses.
Our core knowledge is around surface treatment and surface energy, improving and testing materials to improve adhesion of inks, adhesives, coatings and many more processes. Ebble Group mainly operate within the UK and Ireland with our main manufacturing centre based in Denmark.
From our Danish site, and through our network of around 40 partners we look after the global surface treatment market and have strong history manufacturing these systems since 1974.
Find out more about us by reading on, or for more information you might want to visit our knowledge hub or other business pages.
Ebble Group was founded by Chris Howey with an aim of bringing together a number of products, services to the UK and Irish market with a focus on surface treatment and improving material surface energy and performance for bonding processes.
Working in the surface treatment world since the start of his career and following from studying Chemistry through education; offering a scientific, methodical and technical approach to the equipment and processes surrounding Plasma and Corona made sense.
Tantec UK is the equipment sales side of the business, supported by our global manufacturing site in Denmark, Tantec A/S, who have been supplying systems worldwide since 1974.
Ebble Manufacturing offers contract treatment and manufacturing for customers not looking to buy equipment, or looking for support in other ways.
All Ebble Group companies are located just south of Birmingham in Redditch, Worcestershire.
Tantec are global manufacturers of Plasma, Corona and Ozone Treatment systems along with Electrical Leak Detection.
These systems find themselves in many manufacturing environments but have a strong presence in automotive, medical device manufacture, aerospace, electronics and consumer goods.
The principal behind the surface treatments is to enhance materials using high voltage treatments to improve processes such as glue bonding, coating and printing.
High voltage Leak Detection uses our extensive knowledge of working with high voltage to find micron sized holes in moulded components – especially useful for 100% inline and non destructive testing of caps, medical devices and other mouldings where a sealed product is vital.
These systems are available stand alone or for integration into larger production lines.
Ebble Manufacturing offers contract treatment and manufacturing with a focus on the surface treatments offered by Tantec.
Supporting customers who aren’t looking to buy equipment, the manufacturing side of the group have invested in a significant number of larger machines that are versatile for treating a wide range of parts and materials.
Alongside this we can support with bonding, assembly and other processes which can all be done from our UK site in Redditch, Worcestershire.
Ebble Manufacturing is also an excellent resource for Tantec equipment users who are looking to perform initial large scale trials, want to have production backup or overflow support or who simply want to see full sized machines up close.
Ebble Test and Research brings together requirements for material testing for customers looking to implement quality procedures like contact angle or dyne testing.
It also offers a space for research in to surface treatment and surface energy along with adhesive and material testing.
Quality items such as Dyne Pens and Test Inks are available to buy through the webstore at Ebble.Shop and more in depth support can take place at our site here with several adhesion testers, contact angle devices and other test methods to look at parts and materials.
This side of the business helps with process checks and quality tests through to problem solving and identification for surface treatments and surface preparation methods.
