About Vango

Established in the West of Scotland in 1966, the company remains based at the gateway to the spectacular Scottish Highlands, at its headquarters in Port Glasgow. Vango makes tents and equipment for families to camp in comfort, adventurers to go light & wild, and for mountaineers to survive in extreme conditions.

Our Spares and Repairs Service refurbishes your outdoor gear to give it a second life of adventure. Where anything is beyond repair, all component parts are recycled for use in future repairs, as well as upcycling as much of the remaining fabrics as possible, dramatically reducing landfill. This includes tent fabrics and sleeping bag fillings being donated to Sheltersuit UK, to be upcycled into immediate shelter for the homeless.
