How it all began
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.

Full steam ahead
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.
