The Vango Company and brand is in its 40th year, but they have been associated with tent making for much longer. In 1847, Andrew Mitchell & Co Ltd (now AMG Group) was founded, they were canvas merchants buying cotton, flax and jute to sell on to manufacturers of sails, tarpaulins and tents.
Throughout its 40 years, Vango has remained at the forefront of product innovation and design and has produced market leading tents, rucksacks and sleeping bags to meet the demands of campers, mountaineers, climbers and walkers.
Over a 30 year period, Vango equipment was used on more or less every major expedition to leave Britain including all the Everest climbs. Legendary figures such as Chris Bonnington and Doug Scott were frequently equipped with Vango products during their extreme expeditions.
