Propress was founded by fashion importer and entrepreneur Brian Fillery in 1980 and was the first British company to create professional garment and fabric steamers for leading fashion houses in the UK and Europe.
Today, we are a steam-powered global business exporting to five continents and over 30 countries, and still making what are widely regarded as the best steamers on the market.
Like every great product, the Propress steamer was invented to solve an industry problem. Fillery knew that appearances mattered in fashion retail and the need to reduce time between product delivery and display was key to sales.
Confident that fashion buyers and merchandisers would go wild for the restorative power of steam, Fillery and business partner Tim Oliver built their first steamer in the summer of 1983 and Propress was born.
Over 40 years since it all began, the Propress steamer is still first choice for fashion professionals around the world. And we continue to do what we do best: creating the world's best steamers and championing steaming as a more natural, efficient and sustainable way to care for all of life’s essential fabrics.
In short, we love what we do and we live for living fabrics.
Customer service at Propress is excellent. If you come to them with an issue they deal with it promptly and their aftercare is second to none

I don’t think I've ever had such Great customer service! 5* Thank you for all your help, and as I said, if you ever need a hat!
Thank you so much for your help and prompt service last week with our steamer. We will be recommending Propress for customer care, fantastic advice and service, well done.
Thank you for your truly excellent service and kindness. Everything went according to plan and I received the steamer today at 8.30. Bravo to the delivery Company you used.
It is such a rarity to actually be able to get through on the telephone to a living person given the times in which we live. Please keep doing the same thing.
Worked for a design company many years ago. The Propress is as good now as it was then - top marks.
An amazing piece of kit. How did we ever live without one of these? The 2 litre tank means you can steam a lot of garments before having to wait to refill the tank.
My wife recently purchased a much cheaper one for her shop, but we opted for this one for home use and she (having used both) says the difference is dramatic.
The staff at Propress have always been an absolute dream to work with. All of our orders are efficiently processed and our needs are always met, no matter how late in the day.
