About Us
Bambrella® designs and manufactures the strongest bamboo, aluminium and stainless steel commercial quality parasols available. Bambrella Ltd was formed in 2008 by former wooden boat builder, Rupert Bottomley – founder and CEO of the Woodstocks International Group. The Woodstocks Group began manufacturing garden furniture and parasols in Indonesia in 1996.
Rupert’s vast wealth of experience gained, over many years, inspired him to design and create the Bambrella brand. Bambrella uses unique patented designs and innovative technology to manufacture parasols of unrivalled quality. All parasols are produced in Bambrella’s own factory and are rigorously tested to ensure superior, unsurpassed quality.
A Word from Rupert….
In 2010, we expanded our manufacturing operation into China to take advantage of the plentiful supply of Moso bamboo. Moso bamboo is the only bamboo which can be processed and treated for outdoor use. It is also available with FSC certification, which further illustrates how much the planet means to us at Bambrella. Bambrella has proved to be the highest quality laminated bamboo designer and manufacturer on the market, globally. One reason for its durability is its ability to resist mould and mildew occurring, when bamboo is exposed to the elements. The effective resistance has taken years to achieve, through consistent testing. We’ve also patented a joint system, which enables us to hot press and glue long lengths of laminations.
At Bambrella, we strive to improve and enhance our product range and, as the lead designer, I’m always working on a new range of parasols, including a new range of outdoor furniture and using the highest quality modern materials available and combining them with bamboo.
Our customers can be assured that materials used in the production of our umbrellas are the best as every umbrella we make is are all marine grade. They can withstand the many differing climates and conditions around the world.
I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to learn more about Bambrella, and we look forward to working with you in the near future!
Rupert Bottomley,
Director Bambrella®
