The UK and Europe's leading manufacturer of Taping Machines

History

Ridgway Machines Ltd can trace its roots back to 1920 when Ridgway & Co were first established in Leicester, England. Originally a general engineer, Ridgway evolved into a high quality specialist design and manufacturing company.

Working closely with local manufacturers such as GEC, Brush Electrical Machines and Midland Dynamo, Ridgway developed a range of machinery for the coil winding industry.

The acquisition of Crowther Engineering in 1988 led to Ridgway's development as a taping machinery specialist and the introduction of the RTP and SRTP range of machinery for the oil and pipeline industries.
