About Elddis caravans
Founded in 1965 by Sedgefield-based entrepreneur Siddle Cook, Elddis began as a small-scale caravan manufacturer with a focus on quality and value. The company quickly gained traction in the UK market, leading to the development of the Consett facility where production remains today. A significant milestone in the brand's history occurred in 2012 with the launch of 'SoLiD Construction', a pioneering chemical bonding process that replaced traditional mechanical fixings. This innovation marked a shift toward modern automotive-style assembly within the caravan industry. In 2017, the brand underwent a major corporate transition when it was acquired by the Erwin Hymer Group, a global leader in recreational vehicles. This acquisition integrated Elddis into a wider European network of expertise while maintaining its British heritage. Today, Elddis operates as part of Erwin Hymer Group UK, continuing to produce hundreds of vehicles annually and supporting a vast dealer network across the United Kingdom.
