August Race™ Announces New Sales and Supply Agreement with Swobbit Europe®
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - United Kingdom - March 2026
August Race™ Group is pleased to announce that it has entered into a new sales and supply agreement with Swobbit Europe®, becoming an official dealer of the brand’s premium cleaning tools and textiles across key international markets.
The agreement represents a significant step in the continued expansion of the August Race™ Group’s global product portfolio, further strengthening its ability to deliver high-performance, professional-grade solutions to the leisure marine, RV, automotive and aviation sectors.
Swobbit® is global brand recognised for its innovative and durable cleaning systems, designed to improve efficiency, safety and outcomes in vessel and vehicle maintenance. The addition of the Swobbit® range complements August Race™’s existing and newly developed product lines, enabling the company to offer a more complete, integrated solution to distributors, marinas, boatyards and end users worldwide.
This announcement comes at a pivotal moment for August Race™, as the company prepares for the global launch of its Oceans Assured™ initiative on 22 April (World Earth Day).
The Oceans Assured™ initiative represents a major step forward in addressing the long-standing compliance gap within the leisure marine sector, introducing a fully reformulated range of cleaning and maintenance products that are MARPOL-compliant and certified Non-Harmful to the Marine Environment (Non-HME).
By combining environmentally responsible formulations with proven, high-quality application systems such as Swobbit®, August Race™ is positioning itself to deliver a truly end-to-end solution that aligns performance, compliance and sustainability.
Speaking on the agreement, Sarah Wallbank FCIEx, CEO at August Race™, commented:
“This agreement represents an important step in the continued expansion of the August Race™ Group. As we approach the global launch of Oceans Assured™, it is essential that we are able to offer high-quality application systems that support best practice across the industry.”
Suzanne Blaustone, CEO of Barton Marine and Director at Swobbit® Europe, added:
“We have been a long-time admirer of August Race cleaning products, their expansion initiatives and their unique marketing acumen. Creating a mutual supply program facilitates easy access and ordering for August Race customers worldwide. August Race focuses on environmentally compliant products, so this partnership resonates with our Swobbit Europe principles to reduce the environmental impact of marine goods in our oceans and waterways. We look forward to a successful future with our colleagues at the August Race Group.”
The agreement also reflects August Race™’s broader strategy of building a global, compliance-led ecosystem for marine maintenance - one that not only meets evolving environmental regulations but also provides practical, scalable solutions for real-world application across marinas, boatyards and vessels.
With an expanding international distributor network spanning Europe, North America, the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia-Pacific, August Race™ continues to establish itself as a leading force in the transition towards evidence-based, compliance-driven sustainability within the marine sector.
The addition of Swobbit® strengthens this position further, ensuring that customers can adopt best practice not only in the products they use, but also in how those products are applied.
As the industry continues to move towards greater environmental accountability and operational transparency, partnerships such as this will play a critical role in supporting that transition.
