HISTORY
In March 1925 three "Irons" brothers purchased the premises and equipment of G Harris a specialist in the production of water
pumps in the small market town of Wadebridge for a sum of £350. The business evolved and was incorporated as Irons Brothers Ltd.
in May 1930.
Irons Brothers traded as a foundry and general engineering works servicing the busy Cornish Clay industry and continuing the
production of vacuum pumps. The Second World War saw the company involved in the production of components for the war effort,
including parts for tanks, in addition to their core business.

As the Cornish clay industry waned the company diversified into new areas and the first keel was produced in the 1960's in
grey iron. The 1970's saw the expansion of keel production and the introduction of lead melting facilities. The company
continued to specialise in keel production and is now one of the largest keel suppliers in Europe.
Irons Brothers is still owned and run by the family from the original site and looks forward to many more years of
successful trading.
