There has always been a huge World Wide demand for a machine that could be attached to a motor vehicle in order to remove water from chamois leathers, artificial equivalents, and drying cloths during the process of "drying off" after washing. Mike Ritson, Maurice Willis and Ron Hickman OBE commenced development on the Ring dri in 1994. Ron Hickman had already achieved phenomenal success as the inventor of the famous Black and Decker portable Workbench with World Wide sales in excess of 65 million units. Ron was also the designer of the original Lotus Elan, Plus 2 and the Lotus Europa.

After eight years of initial development the Ring dri was styled by GEPDA (General Electrics Plastic Design Associates). This prestigious company
carries out design work for General
Motors, Ford, Smart, BMW and Mercedes
Benz to name but a few. The development and
production costs of the Ring Dri were subject to substantial investment. The Ring Dri is produced in the highest quality GE nylon together with specially formulated rubber components manufactured by Avon Technical Products. All metal components have been produced in stainless steel to BS standards. Patents have been granted in the United Kingdom, Australia, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA. Patents have also been filed in Canada and Japan. The incredible SSFC (Single Shot Fast Cam) which attaches the Ring dri to all smooth non porous surfaces, has also been granted multiple patents.
