Whitelegg Machines Ltd

Whitelegg Machines Ltd is a family-owned business with a long history of export achievement. It was founded by Frank Whitelegg in 1930.

The activities of the company are divided in two distinct sectors:

Coil Winding Equipment for electric motor repair and transformer manufacture
Wire Forming and Welding Machines for making domestic products, point-of-sale products, supermarket trolleys and many other applications. Tube Bending Machines and Spring Coiling Machines are also produced

The coil winding equipment is sold primarily in the UK, Middle East, North Africa and the Far East. In the coil winding sector, Whitelegg can offer a complete range of equipment to fully equip a factory for the purpose of repairing electric motors and generators of all sizes. For some years, in excess of 20% of turnover has been destined for the Middle East and North Africa.

The second half of the companies turnover is accounted for by Wire Bending and Welding Machines, Spring Coiling Machines and Tube Bending Machines. Over the years, several niche markets have developed such as lampshade frame machinery where Whitelegg machines produce over 60% of Europes lampshades. Industrial filters (made of rings, stars and rectangles), Shop Fittings such as wire stands, racks, shelves and trolleys, are other important markets.
