Over the years HMC developed the range of industrial wheels and castors from its premises in Hornsey, North London, becoming one of the market leaders in the UK, for the supply of heavy duty wheels and castors. In the early 70’s Cope Allman Group acquired HMC and relocated it along with F W Brauer Ltd another acquisition, to new purpose built premises in Bletchley, Buckinghamshire, which was destined to become part of the new city of Milton Keynes. F.W.Brauer Ltd. was founded in 1946. The company designed and manufactured what is today the world famous Orange handle grip, Toggle Clamps from the factory in Harpenden Hertfordshire The TC model range was one of the first patented designs of Toggle Clamps in the world, being introduced to the aircraft and motor industries, bringing a whole new range of Clamping process tools to the market. The company manufactured many other products as diverse as, component parts for the De Havilland Comet aeroplane, Tie racks, ´Jerrycan´ filling machines, fishing reels, lanterns, screw jacks, as well as over 100 different models of clamps. In 1975 the full merger between the two companies took place an expansion of the Bletchley premises was finished in early 1976 and the complete integration of the two companies soon followed. Brauer is still located at this site to this day and is still a 100% British manufacturer of all products. Brauer has added many new products, from special application involvement, experience gained from the market place and from working with the best engineers in the sector. Brauer now has a range of Air transportation products called Airmovers and Components for machine process applications and standard operating parts for machinery and application set ups. Brauer offers a standard “off the shelf” wheel and castor product range and in addition designs and manufactures wheels and castor units for individual projects, with carrying capacities exceeding 150 tonnne. Equally impressive, our vast range of manual and pneumatic Toggle Clamps are now, distributed worldwide to more than 40 countries.

After more than 80 years trading, the Bulgin name is familiar and trusted worldwide. Many of our components have gained the status of industry standards. You dont achieve that kind of record by standing still - least of all today, when new developments and challenges appear in the blink of an eye. Bulgin aims to stay ahead by continuing to offer new products in response to market needs. Our major customers, whether distributors or OEMs, rightly demand the highest achievable standards of quality and service, and we continually review our operations to ensure we meet or exceed expectations. As a company we are as strong and dynamic now as at any time in our history. Here is a snapshot view of where we are today and how we intend to evolve over the next few years. Richard Bulgin Sales and Marketing Director The business fundamentals It has never been sufficient simply to supply electronic components. Customers need assurance of quality at fair prices, good technical support and fast, reliable delivery. They also want leading-edge new products which enable them to launch exciting new applications on the market. Bulgin has always excelled at meeting these demands. We work very closely with both customers and suppliers, building strong and mutually beneficial relationships, constantly improving our standards of quality and performance - and our ability to react fast to customers needs. Resources for continued investment In a business environment where fierce competition and stringent customer demands are a fact of life, Bulgin is in a strong position to plan with confidence. Our corporate finances are healthy, providing us with resources for continued investment. Our workforce is one of the most stable, skilled and reliable in the industry, and we have an exceptional pool of talented engineers to design, develop and manufacture our products. We will continue to expand our business by developing our current markets and introducing new product innovations. Above all, we shall continue to invest in advanced technologies to improve performance and enable us to offer market-leading new products - together with the essential infrastructure to serve and support our customers worldwide. Putting technology to work Our ability to get new products out fast - whether additions to our standard ranges or bespoke items for customers - starts with an advanced approach to design and development. Design engineers work with sales and marketing specialists in flexible development teams. These teams are extensively equipped with computer-assisted tools such as the latest 3D modelling system. Serving five workstations, the system allows rapid progression from first design and fine-tuning through to prototyping and manufacture. Product marketing engineers co-ordinate the work of the marketing, development, production and sales functions, ensuring rapid, right-first-time development accurately matched to the market’s needs.The benefits of complete control We perform nearly all our manufacturing in house. This approach - in contrast to subcontracted manufacture - provides some critically important advantages. In particular, we retain total control over the entire manufacturing process from raw materials through production to inspection and testing. Both quality management and product availability remain entirely in our own hands. Our extensive facilities include an automated plastics moulding shop, metal press shop and electroplating shop for conductive parts. Assembly is by automatic or manual techniques as appropriate. Together, these facilities enable us to provide exactly what the customers want, when they want it, from low-volume, turnkey solutions to the mass-produced volumes of our standard ranges.The can-do response We try very hard never to say ‘no’ to a customer. One of the major benefits of handling virtually all our design and manufacture in-house is that it provides a rare degree of flexibility. The extensive knowledge base within our teams allows us routinely to produce customised components and assemblies, ranging from minor modifications right through to one-off specials for OEMs. We are equally adept at changing a product line mid-stream in response to developing market or business needs - and because we have close control over every stage, we can often respond within timescales few competitors would even attempt.Flexibility through training As well as serving our customers better, our inherent flexibility enables us to introduce new products very rapidly. Given the already enormous variety of our products, it’s clear that flexibility is also a key requirement for our staff. As well as selecting people carefully, we provide them with excellent, on-going training to make sure they have the skills they need. For example, around 130 production staff have achieved NVQ qualifications in electronic assembly over the last two years. Warehouse staff and toolsetters have sim
