John Guest hits landmark 60 years of trust and innovation
May 03 2021
The original push-fit inventors, John Guest, part of the RWC family of brands, celebrates 60 years since the brand’s inception.
Established in 1961 by John Guest, the company developed the world’s first push-fit technology designed initially for compressed air in 1974. Created to make installations faster and easier, this technology is now used across the globe, including power-steering systems in automotive to food grade applications in drinks dispense and water treatment, through to plumbing and heating, telecoms, compressed air and OEM solutions. Under the iconic John Guest and JG Speedfit brands, the core technology has not only been revolutionising multiple industries for decades, but the exposure to application specific challenges has led to a diverse bank of engineering expertise where innovation and learnings from one industry get applied in another.
60 Years of Trust
Bart Maris, VP Sales & Marketing for RWC EMEA, said, “This year we are celebrating a huge milestone at John Guest. With 60 years of trust and innovation behind us, push-fit technology has come a long way since we first invented it, and we are constantly striving for improvement.
“Now, as part of the RWC family of brands, we are integrating the John Guest technology, knowledge and experience into our wider RWC product portfolio. For example, just last year we launched a set of Reliance Valves with JG Speedfit connections to help make plumbing and heating installations faster, simpler and easier. We also launched a new range of SharkBite Air push-fit fittings and pipe to complement our John Guest compressed air range.
“For the customers, and installers who are using our technology and products every day, our history and ongoing research and development mean you get the highest quality products that are fast to install, reliable and safe for the future.”
Today, John Guest and JG Speedfit innovate for a range of industries within its UK factories, making millions of products a year. Everything is made in the UK, from tooling, to automated assembly machines to components – ensuring the John Guest reputation for quality is never compromised. Every product designed by John Guest and JG Speedfit is rigorously tested in its state-of-the-art labs, with strict quality control throughout the manufacturing process.
“John’s Guest’s legacy lives on in all the products we make today – with this DNA in everything from the idea and design to the precision engineering and manufacturing, as well as our expert technical service and support,” said Maris. “We also focus on the quality and reliability of our supply chains, materials and trained personnel – with experts across multi-disciplines, the result is the highest quality products that exceed industry standards in all sectors.”
“As John Guest’s heritage continues to inspire the next generation of push-fit solutions, we are looking forward to the next 60 years, further improving performance and efficiency within plumbing and heating, as well as the many industries where our technologies find their application. As a start, and being part of the RWC family of brands since 2018, we are well ahead in the process of making what’s next by combining our engineering excellence with that of the other brands under the RWC umbrella.”

JG Speedfit once again crowned ‘Best Plumbing Brand’ at BMJ Industry Awards
JG Speedfit once again crowned ‘Best Plumbing Brand’ at BMJ Industry Awards
June 05 2019
JG Speedfit, an RWC brand, has won the ‘Best Plumbing Brand’ title at the BMJ Industry Awards 2019 for the second year running.
The awards event is run by the Builders Merchants Journal (BMJ) Magazine in the UK, and celebrates the very best brands, merchants and people at the heart of the builders’ merchant sector. This year, JG Speedfit beat Hunter Plastics and Plumco to the ‘Best Plumbing Brand’ accolade, which was announced on 17th May 2019 at The Brewery, London.
The award is unique in that only industry professionals can nominate and vote for their favourite brands and merchants. This means JG Speedfit was selected by merchants and people who sell and use its products every day in the UK, instead of a single judging panel.
James Bell, EMEA Brand and Marketing Director said:
“The BMJ Industry Awards are a hotly contested event, with only the best brands, merchants and individuals making it through to the shortlists, let alone win it. To receive the award two years in a row for JG Speedfit is an incredible testament to the hard work, dedication and customer service offered by our people behind the brand, from our production staff to our sales, marketing and customer service teams.”
