| AdminHistory | Sanderson Brothers and Newbould was registered on 26 Aug 1901, acquiring the businesses of Sanderson Brothers and Company and Samuel Newbould and Company. This was a mutually beneficial arrangement: the Sanderson side produced steel for the tools made by the Newbould arm.
In 1960, Sanderson Kayser Limited was formed on the merger of Sanderson Brothers and Newbould Limited with Kayser, Ellison and Company Limited.
The trading name of 'Sanderson Brothers and Newbould Limited' continued after 1960, it being listed as a 'subsidiary company' of Sanderson Kayser Limited in the [1971] publication: '400 Years of Iron and Steel'.
It was reported in the 1972 edition of 'The Sanderson Kayser Magazine' (vol.2, no.6) that the company was reorganising: Sanderson Brothers and Newbould Limited and Kayser Ellison and Company Limited, which had previously traded as separate entities, began operating as Sanderson Kayser Limited from 1 Apr 1972. The integration of the sales and trading functions was the final of the amalgamation under one name. Within the new tranding company of Sanderson Kayser Limited, two divisions were formed: 1. the Steel Division and 2. the Finished Products Division. |
