About Ramer
Ramer stands as Britain's leading sponge manufacturer, crafting super-absorbent and ultra-soft sponges for beauty and body care since 1946. What began in a disused gymnasium in Pimlico, London—with the entire first year's production purchased by Elizabeth Arden Cosmetics—has grown into a renowned family business now operated by the second generation. The company pioneered synthetic sponge innovation in the UK, creating and marketing the first commercially viable synthetic sponge in 1949 with their patented Ramerfoam® technology. This groundbreaking material has proven so versatile that it's now used across diverse industries—from cigar humidors to aircraft de-icing systems and medical applications—while remaining the gold standard for personal care sponges. Today, all Ramer products are proudly manufactured at their purpose-built facility in Devon, nestled in the rolling hills of the Otter Valley. For over seventy years, they've supplied customers in the UK and worldwide, maintaining the family commitment to quality that's made the Ramer name synonymous with exceptional sponges. UK shoppers can find Ramer's ultra-soft baby sponges and beauty care products at major retailers including Tesco and Iceland. Their Ultra Soft Baby Sponge range is particularly beloved by parents for its gentle, hypoallergenic properties—a testament to over 75 years of British manufacturing excellence.
