About Grove Supplies
Some of it we make.
The rest we source.
Grove Supplies stocks specialist research equipment, labware, consumables, PPE and storage. Part of that catalogue we design and manufacture ourselves; the rest we source from manufacturers and distributors we have assessed. Both halves are held to the same standard, because the person at the bench does not care which is which.

What we make, and what we source
Designed and made by us
Our own range covers storage, organisation and handling — the parts that rarely justify injection tooling but decide whether a bench works. We design them, print them here, and revise them when the people using them tell us what is wrong. A change reaches you in the next print run, not the next product cycle.
Assessed, then listed
Equipment, labware, consumables and PPE come from established manufacturers and distributors. Everything is checked against the specification it claims before it goes on the site, certification included — and we will tell you when something is not the right tool for the job, even when it is the more expensive one.
Our own range
How our own range gets made
Five steps, run in our own workshop, on a loop.
- Step 01
Identify
Finding the jobs a bench does badly because nothing is made for them.
- Step 02
Design
Drawing the part around the tubes, plates and racks it has to fit.
- Step 03
Prototype
Printing it, using it, and finding what the drawing missed.
- Step 04
Refine
Fixing the tolerances, the ergonomics and the edges that catch.
- Step 05
Manufacture
Printing to order here, so a revision reaches you and not a warehouse.
