In 1892, we started manufacturing chain products for the agricultural and marine sectors and have emerged to become a global leader in the manufacture of chain harrows. Alnwick, Northumberland, is where we established our lifting division in 1989. From Alnwick, we manufacture and distribute our internationally specified chain sling systems and manual hoisting range. We have expanded several times during the last two decades to meet demand for our internationally recognised HA and WH brands.
