ENDECOTTSCOVER STORY


80 YEARS OF ENDECOTTS


As Endecotts celebrates their 80th birthday, we take a look into their long history of producing quality laboratory test sieves, shakers, and related laboratory equipment, and how they have developed as a company over time.


one mile away, at Lombard Road, in 1959. It was not long before the company needed additional space and both a second manufacturing floor and additional offices were built above the existing building in 1965.


EXPANSION AND


A FAMILY AFFAIR Originally set up by Arthur Endecott in 1936, Endecotts began in a small workshop in Kingston Road, South West London, before moving to slightly larger premises also on Kingston Road.


During this time, Endecotts produced fabricated mesh filters and similar products to supply local industry requirements. Throughout the wartime period, Endecotts supported the war effort by using their engineering skills to produce parts for the Ministry of Defence, amongst other products.


Arthur’s son, Albert, developed the business further and moved it to a 10,000 sq ft facility at its present site

DEVELOPMENT Endecotts were acquired by their supplier N. Greenings, who were manufacturers of woven wire mesh. Greenings were then acquired by Johnson & Firth Brown in the 1970s and Endecotts joined the Light Engineering Division of JFB, who in time became Firth Rixson Plc. Firth Rixson are specialist producers of ring rolled products and heavy forged components for the aerospace industry.


Endecotts were part of Firth Rixson for 27 years. Considered as ‘non-core’ by Firth Rixson, Endecotts was acquired in September 2005 by the management team and external investors.


Endecotts became part of the Verder Group in 2010. Since then the company has undergone a modernisation process and realised a complete new line of state-of-the-art sieve shakers.


PRESENT DAY Today, Endecotts, located in South Wimbledon, offers a wide range of high-quality sieves in different sizes and materials and the levels of certification meet every national and international standard and every industrial specification, including ISO 3310 and ASTM E-11, around the world.
